How can I tell whether a process is running with administrator permissions?

Windows 7 Task Manager, Processes tab.

When I run a programm, batch ... elevated (run as Administrator), I still see it with my User name "HorstWalter" in the Windows Task Manager.

I'd have expected to see it as user name "Administrator". However, how can I tell the process is running elevated?

You cannot do this from inside Task Manager. You can however use SysInternal's Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) program which is effectively Task Manager on steroids.
