Why?
A batch file won't work but a exe (run as admin) should work...

Click to expand...

Hmm? Why would you think a batch file wouldn't work? All he needs to do is right click on the *.bat file and choose to Run as Administrator. This allows the batch script to run within an elevated command prompt which is no different than typing the command into an Administrator command prompt.
