Just made a little batch file to find it doesn't run right without

It depends. If the batch file is supposed to start a Windows service of
some kind then Administrator login is always required. Also, if the
batch file is creating a file in some protected folder then again
administrator user password is required. Apart from that, a batch file
should run normally.

Could you post the code here so that somebody can see if Admin privilege
is required or not.

If security is not a problem then why not change the profile to Admin
user? This will solve everything instantly. Now security is there for
a reason so think very hard before running everything as administrator.

The 2nd line came from a post from another thread, thank you for whoever
it was.

echo off
VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWS

pause

As said, just double click and VSSADMIN produces an error message, "Run
As Administrator" and it doesn't.

I have Administrator priveldges on account and it's the only account
besides the "Administrtaor" account itself as "Guest" is turned off.

I created a batch file using your exact wording, and it runs fine on
mine- Win7HP x64. I also am the Admin on this PC.

I changed the one line to "VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWS C:\Shadows.txt"
(without the quotes) and removed Pause, and that worked, too. I don't
know what would cause yours not to run correctly.

also can add to Task Scheduler a task to run your batch, use "Run on
Demand" without a timed schedule, and run with admin privileges. Then
run that task from a shortcut.
