Thanks for posting that reg hack. There is also the elevate powertoy for command-line invoking a thing with elevation.

You can automate the first step by setting this registry value. However, you'll need to elevate to edit this section of the registry too so it may not be worth it.

You are running your batch file in a context that doesn't have system privileges but trying to make system changes. The system stops you from making those changes. This is by design. Tell your users to right-click Run-as-admin the batch file, and then allow the action when prompted by UAC. You might be able to automate the first step, but the user will always get the UAC elevation prompt. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
