Are you starting the other exe file with jShell? It will run with administrator privileges if the B4J process runs as administrator.

You can use this code (on Windows) to test whether the process has administrator privileges:
B4X: 
Sub RunningAsAdministrator As Boolean
   Try
     File.WriteString("\", "test.txt", "test")
     File.Delete("\", "test.txt")
     Return True
   Catch
     Return False
   End Try
End Sub
