    How to run batch file with powershell


    I created a basic batch file that uses "net share" to share a local path. I saved the batch file. When I double click the file I get "access is denied"... note, I am logged on as a admin.

    Anyways... I figure it has to be run using power shell. I do not know much about powershell. Can anyone tell me how I can run this batch file (by double clicking on the icon) using power shell?

    Thank you

    edit.... if I right click the file and click "run as administrator" it runs fine. I want the ability to just double click it and execute.

    Create a shortcut to your batch file (right-click drag+drop the file). Then edit the shortcut's Properties->Shortcut->Advanced.

    Or you can auto elevate your .bat by sticking this at the start (copied from UUPtoISO)
    Code:
    set "params=%*"
    cd /d "%~dp0" && ( if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) && fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% 1>nul 2>nul || (  echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k cd ""%~sdp0"" && %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && exit /B )
    
    <whatever>
    Either way you'll get a UAC warning asking you to authorize running as Administrator. You can avoid this (see following tutorials...) if you want.

    else (but a bit risky I think): Elevated Program Shortcut - Create for Standard User - Windows 7 Help Forums
