BATCH - Run as Admin from current path instead system32 folder.......

For order a my folder i have created a similar .bat files:

Code:

md A
md B
...
...
md Z
move a*.* .\A
move b*.* .\B
..
..
move z*.* .\Z

There's a big issue......... i need to run this batch as admin and i have used the command "Run as Admin" from context menu and i hope i don't have create a BIG ISSUE on my windows 10 installation.
Because this BATCH it's not corrently been executed from the path how it's stored the batch but all commands it's be correctly runned from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder!!!

I don't have idea because there's append but right now on C:\Windows\System32 i have all subforder called A B C etc whit all files MOVED inside!!
Some files it's not be moved because i see from windows prompt it's say it's protect (and problably all files it's currently used by windows 10).

I have right now move back all files from all subfolder and i hope i need to reformat my windows or obtain boot problems at next reboot of my pc.... instead this because there's append !?!?

How i can fix this issue ? Because if i use RUN AS ADMIN for a batch files the bat it's runned from system32 folder and not from the corrent path how it's stored the bat files ??

mmmmmmmm.... i don't have understand if it's really need all this code.

On some other guide found on internet i see someone suggest to use "PUSHD" commands.....

Read the /h i thinks i can put it at very first line of my batch

PUSHD %~dp0

I can also use @ECHO for maintain hide this..... i need to test if it's works.

What errors do you get and what are the permissions on the folder your running from?

I don't know because but if i lauch this batch whiout admin permission on command prompt windows i see some many erros reports i can create the folder.
So i tried to run the same .bat file using "Run As Admin" and boom...... i made a possibly disaster because the file .bat it's be executed but not from the path how it's the batch but all command it's be executed from System32 folder....

Do you always run the batch file from the same place? If so, you can just add a new first line to change the folder to that location.
cd /d E:\Wherever\WhereverElse

If not, please explain how you use the batch file including why it needs to be run as admin and which folders might it be used in.
There are several possible approaches and the most suitable ones will vary with your explanation.

It could be a solution but I needed to move the same bat file from different folders so if it was I had to adapt it every time.

Code:

@Echo off
::
:: Restart as Admin if not already running as Admin
::
(Net session >nul 2>&1)||(PowerShell start """%~fn0""" -verb RunAs & Exit /B)

md A
md B
...
...
md Z
move a*.* .\A
move b*.* .\B
..
..
move z*.* .\Z

I understood what I was advised to do .... as I said using "Pushd" is cmq a good alternative.

in the end, friends, I used this stuff here.. this is my ORDINA.bat:

Code:

echo %~dp0
pushd %~dp0
::dir B*.nes
pause
::exit
