Learn how to RunAs authority\system

[forderud]

Figure out how to get RunAs = "nt authority\system" working as described on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/com/runas . Relevant quote:

Can use "nt authority\system" with a COM server that is already started or that has an entry in the class table. However, you cannot use "nt authority\system" with a COM server that is not already started.

Untested startup command: c:\Dev\tools\PSTools\PsExec.exe -i -s c:\Dev\ComSamples\x64\Debug\MyServerCpp.exe

Sample code: AppID SetRunAsPassword
