However, when I click properties->compatibility on the files, the administrator-checkbox is grayed out… For example, “NET SHARE C$ /D” does not work in normal command prompt, but if I open up an administrative command prompt it works just fine.

However, I’d like to run the above mentioned command and similar commands by just easilly clicking on a file instead of opening up a command prompt.

Should I just scrap my CMD/BAT utility files, and succumb to the evilness of Vista or is there any way to make Vista run CMD/BAT files in administrative mode? After all, they’re MY files and this is MY computer… I’ve tried changing the Ownership of the files and taking the ownership to my personal account, and I’ve double checked that my account IS a member of the admin group, and the (insert insulting adjective here) Vista does not still allow me to run the CMD/BAT files as administrator without right-clicking them and selecting “Run as admin”. But I’d just want to be able to double-click them and roll with it… or better yet, I’ve added them to my PATH variable and in XP was able to run them straight from the Run-dialog. But noooooooo, not in Vista anymore, nooooooo… Snif, sorry about the rant, but this UAC nonsense is getting out of hand when the Owner of the Computer cannot control the Computer anymore…
