To quote MSDN documentation:

> LPTSTR szCmdline[] = _tcsdup(TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\MyApp"));
> CreateProcessAsUser(hToken, NULL, szCmdline, /*...*/ );
>
> If a malicious user were to create an application called "Program.exe" on

> To avoid this problem, do not pass NULL for lpApplicationName.
So instead, we pass the executable to lpApplicationName instead, which avoids
the issue. MSDN says:
> The lpCommandLine parameter can be NULL. In that case, the function uses
> the string pointed to by lpApplicationName as the command line.
This also avoids the strdup since lpApplicationName is LPCSTR unlike
lpCommandLine which is LPSTR.
