You can't do several of those things without admin privileges.

is their anyway i can put them into a exe file or some other type file which i can use
instead so i can have the admin privileges

[Fawers]

Can you open CMD with ADM privileges?
If yes, do you mind having the batch running on a specific time instead of Logging on and running it?

[foxidrive]

You can right click a batch file to run it with admin privs. An exe file doing the same things would also have to be launched the same way.

im going to try vbs file

[abc0502]

Gaining Admin Privilege in windows 7 is very easy, I use it all the time, here is how:

If your batch file is too big u make two files one is a vbscript and write in it just two lines:

Set UAC = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
UAC.ShellExecute "Batch.bat", "", "", "runas", 1

And make ur batch file, name it the same name in the vbscript "the red name" and put the two in the same place.

and now run the vbscript by double click "without Run As Administartor"
and the batch will run in admin mode.

to test the vbscript replace the Batch.bat with cmd.exe and the command prompt will run in Administrator Rights

The Second option is when running small batch that do few commands u just make one batch that create the vbscript and create ur batch that contain ur code and then it run the vbscript that run ur batch.

Hope u use that in good

Thanks from me too abc0502 - that will be handy.

Code: Select all

Set UAC = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
UAC.ShellExecute "Batch.bat", "", "", "runas", 1

I'm glade u found that handy ,In fact this is not mine i found it before here : viewtopic.php?p=14060#p14060 By jaheaga
it was giving me errors some times so i took the vb code and run it separately to avoid the errors.

abc0502, I tried the code today and while it works, it generates a UAC prompt to run the VBS code too.

I apologize for this error, I found my uac turned off so i wasn't getting that prompt, as soon i find a way around it i will get back to you.

The "runas" verb will always pop up the prompt if the UAC is turned on. That's the way M$ developed Vista/Win7 for safety reasons. There is no workaround.

If an application causes the UAC prompt and you don't need to run it in elevated mode then you could "RunAsInvoker". That can be done by setting the __COMPAT_LAYER environment variable.
Example:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
set "__COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker"
start "" "regedit.exe"

The child environment inherits that variable. Now you don't get the UAC prompt, regedit runs in nonelevated mode though (you're not allowed to change anything but your own HKCU).
