Add 'Edit or Run with' to PS1 File Context Menu in Windows 10

The only options I don't have are to run wscript.exe and cmd, both as admin, for VBS files. What would be the correct string syntax for each? I can try out when i get home this evening.

You can use this below to add "Run as administrator" for VBS files. VBS runs with wscript.exe by default.

Got it. Now I want to add "open with command prompt as admin" for vbs files too. Would I use a command like this?

cmd /c echo|set/p="%V"|powershell -NoP -W 1 -NonI -NoL "SaPs 'cmd' -Args '/c """cd /d',$([char]34+$Input+[char]34),'^&^& start /b %SystemRoot%\System32\CScript.exe" "%1" %"""' -Verb RunAs"

Not sure why to have the VBS output to a command prompt since it can't run or edit the VBS.

I'm not sure what the proper command is. VBSFiles by default have a right-click option to open with command prompt, "%SystemRoot%\System32\CScript.exe" "%1" %*. So what I want to do is create another option to open with admin command prompt. I cannot use the RunAs verb since it is already used. I am guessing some sort of powershell command but I am not sure.

It would be best to create a new thread for this.

Ok. Would you prefer a new thread in the Customization section or a follow up to this tutorial?

Thanks!

New thread would be best since it's for something different.

Good evening @Brink. For the Open With PowerShell 5.1 as admin, how do you get rid of the following text that appears when the command is launched, to have only the directory path show? /k argument gets rid of the copyright for command and -nologo only works for PowerShell 7. Thanks!

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

Hello,

Other than installing it, I'm not aware of a way to remove the suggestion in PowerShell.
