Running an HTA or WSH script as administrator

[Kitaen]

How to run a HTA files on Vista with admin privileges. UAC is enabled here. I facing a bit problem running the same. I tried to rightclick on the file and selected run as administrator but that did not worked well here. I had also managed to modify the compatibility settings but that also looks a bit risky. Later on the last thing I did is tried to run the same via cmd but that also failed. I am just stucked with the problem here. I need some help here to run hta or wsh script. I am having a single admin account in my pc.

Right click on cmd and click on run a administrator. If there is any password windows ask then provide the same. Now just drag the script file in the cmd and that's all. Your job will be done. The script will run well in cmd. There will be no error at all. I do not think as you drag the files UAC will block the launch. So just try the drag and drop thing. I hope that might work. You can also try right clicking on the script and selecting open with and choose cmd from the list.
