The latest trunk now spews an error each time it's closed.
A build from emacs-24 on the same system doesn't.
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x ido-mode OR M-x recentf-mode (either one's fine)
3. C-x C-c
4. See the message above and a new directory in ~\.emacs.d\ (if it
didn't exist already).

I'm guessing that this foobar2000 restarts itself with elevated level
when you click on "Update". That's the only way I know of to request
elevation programmatically -- it can only be done at process start
time. Once the process started, it has its privileges in the process
token, and that cannot be changed.

OK, so I guess I can now close this bug. Thanks for helping me test
the solution.
