You can run a command prompt or any application as an administrator by right-clicking it and then clicking Run As Administrator. If you have a batch file that you need to always run as an administrator, follow these steps so it runs with the proper privileges every time:
1. In Explorer, right-click the batch file and then click Create Shortcut.
2. Rename the new shortcut to something useful, such as “filename-admin rights.bat”.
3. Right-click the new shortcut, and then click Properties.
2. On the Shortcut tab, click the Advanced button.
3. Select the Run as administrator checkbox.
4. Click OK twice.
Now, when you double-click the batch file, UAC will prompt you for administrative privileges. You can use a similar technique to always run the command prompt as administrator, or to always run an application as administrator.
can u explain me this article for microsoft windows xp???????
In addition to the above steps sometimes a batch file shortcut’s target will need to have cmd /c inserted before the batch file location.
For example a batch for with a target of:
c:\batchfiles\mybatch.bat
would need to be changed to:
cmd /c c:\batchfiles\mybatch.bat
I did it like you said but when the computer starts the windows defender blocked the .bat file, how can a resolve it?
Any chance of explaining how a batch file can be made to run with admin privileges by a normal user.
I know about the security risks etc and am fine with the implications. We need to fix a bug introduced with Vista SP1 and the users need to run a batch file to fix this issue.
Please email me at the supplied address.
Thanks
