Whenever you impersonate a running thread and create a new thread while impersonating, your new thread will not get impersonated, too.

This answer is very easy - just use GetWindowThreadProcessId
JWA declares it as followed:

function GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd: HWND; lpdwProcessId: LPDWORD): DWORD; stdcall;

The function returns an identifier (not a handle) and also may set lpdwProcessId to the identifier (again not a handle!) if it is not nil. Be aware that identifiers aren’t handles, so you must not close them [...]

As you maybe already have noted, I use the ProcessExplorer of Mark Russinovich a lot. It is a very powerful tool, that can help you finding out what’s going on in your Windows system…

Bluescreens (WinDbg)

and many more

If you are interested in getting an introduction into the great application, you should watch this video. Mark presents [...]

JWSCL provides several ways to enable and disable privileges.

Use the methods of TJwSecurityToken
Use the function JWEnablePrivilege
Use the interface IJwPrivilegeScope
