Just made a little batch file to find it doesn't run right without choosing right click and Run As Administrator. How do I set that so I can just double click instead. Changing Security settings didn't seem to matter. |

Changing Security settings didn't seem to matter. 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. |

I get a long error message basically telling me I don't have the priviledges if I just double click the bat file. I'd like to know how to change that seeing as right clicking the "bat" file and choosing Properties doesn't give me a tab for any option to ?Run As Admin? although the right click menu does. How do I set that permanently? |
