On windows, Administrator != root... System does.  The common trick is to
get a taskmgr.exe process running as system.  One trick to do this is to use
at to schedule a task manager process to run. since the at scheduler runs as
system, the task manager process will have system privileges.  so if it is
currently 12:30pm, run something like :
C:\>at 12:31pm /interactive c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe
and then wait until 12:31pm.

Yes, silly windows :)

I'm curious to know if the increased priority of tincd helps and if so, how
much. I don't think I've tried that.
