I am trying to execute this command which allows me to switch between Lan line and wireless .
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet" admin=DISABLED
I have tried
"runas /user:administrator C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet" admin=DISABLED"
when I execute it using notepad as double click, nothing happens, but when I go to cmd, execute CMD as ADMIN and copy and paste
"netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet" admin=DISABLED"
then lan gets disabled,
I wanna double click the notepad(.BAT) file and want it to execute but something is not allowing it to execute. any ideas?
If the file is a .bat ( Are you sure it isn't a .txt? ) you have to:
right click on the file and then >
Run as administrator
If you arent sure if the file is a .bat you should either check from the icon or create a brand new one by
Opening notepad, paste the code, save as, delete all the file name and write:
filename.bat

I am usually working within the same directory (or subfolders of it) and it has quite a long path so it would be really convenient if my command prompt automatically started in that directory (instead of C:\Users\username). How can I change the starting folder to the one I want?
There are two main ways to do it:
Create a shortcut that opens CMD in the directory you want (recommended).
Create a Command Prompt shortcut
Access the properties of the shortcut and set the path where you want it to open in the "Start in" field
Change the path that the command prompt uses by default
Open regedit
Go to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor"
Create a new "String Value" with the name "Autorun" and with the value "cd /d C:\EXAMPLEDIR"
Here's the situation, every time I need to do the step below after I boot my computer:
Open the cmd(admin)
copy this cmd into cmd:
C:\Windows\system32\netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
enter
For now, I hope to double click a file that can directly execute the command above without the step above.
Any method?
You can save it to .bat or .cmd file and run it on double-click.
Create a file with any name and extension .bat I.g. setLimit.bat. I assume you know how to create files.
Open file from above step in file editor, i.g. notepad.exe. Copy and paste line C:\Windows\system32\netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 into the file and press Ctrl+S to safe it. I hope it makes sense otherwise ask.
Double click on the file to execute the command.
If you need to run it under elevated privilege (i.e. admin) right click on file and choose Run as administrator option in menu.
You need a .bat file to execute the command and a shortcut to have it executed as administrator.
Creating the .bat file is trivial: use you favorite text editor (or notepad), type the command, optionnaly add a line PAUSE if you want to see eventual messages and save it to disk with a .bat extension (say c:\...\sethoplimit.bat)
Creating the shortcut is not much harder: right click on desktop, Create new..., Shortcut, and just select the newly created file
The magic comes now: right click on the newly created shortcut and click Properties, in Shortcut tab, click the Advanced button and select Execute as admin.
That's all. Each time you double click on the shortcut, Windows will start a console with elevated priviledges, eventually open the User Account Control confirmation dialog, and execute the batch file as administrator.
Here I showed you how to create the shortcut directly on the Desktop, but the same process can be used for a shortcut anywhere on a disk folder.
I use address bar of File explorer to open command prompt in current directory(By typing cmd in address bar). It will open the command prompt as Administrator. I have used Windows 7 OS and I logged in as Domain Administrator.
Now I upgraded the OS to Windows 10. Now I am doing the same, But command prompt is not opened as Administrator.(For local Administrator account it was fine). Is there any way to get command prompt as Administrator(Opening from Address bar) ?
We can add this windows default shortcut for achieving cmd as Administrator in single click
Unfortunately a recent Windows 10 Update has removed the Open command prompt mentioned by #Arvindharaj. However, if you feel comfortable editing the Windows Registry then this site that explains how to activate admin cmd right-click option might be a great option. It was for me.
Here are basic steps after launching regedit.exe:
Go to this address: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Under this folder create a new key and label it runas.
Double-click the runas folder and check if there’s a “Default” key. Right-click it and choose “Modify.”
Once you click “Modify,” the “Edit String” box shows up. Type Open Administrator Command Prompt Here in the Value data box.
Next, in the same folder, create a new string value (right-click the runas folder and choose New and select String Value). Label it as NoWorkingDirectory.
Under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas path, create another key and label it as command.
Double click the folder and you’ll see the Default string value. Right click and choose “Modify.” Under the Value data, enter cmd.exe /k cd %1 and click OK.
FYI - I think this last step is wrong btw. The cmd prompt will launch as admin but in its default folder. So instead enter "cmd.exe /s /k pushd %V" and this should launch the admin prompt in the folder you right-clicked on.
I've tried #Alex's solution, but it still didn't work, CMD still evaluated without Administrator privileges.
I only have it working after running the following command in command prompt:
> REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
/v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
And restart the Computer after this.
Can't say that this only helps, but maybe this in addition to #Alex's did the job.
Adding up to response from Aravindharaj G :
1> In File Explorer go to the window where you want to open PowerShell / Command Prompt
Use HotKey ( ALT (Hold) + F > S > A ) will open PS in that location.
2> Using Top Menu File > Open Command Prompt ( or Open Window PowerShell ) > Open Command Prompt as Administrator > now SELECT
"Add to Quick Access Toolbar"
This will add a Tiny icon in all File Explorer Windows for all.
Is there any way(or is it possible) to get the file name of currently working file.
As an example I opened "myPicture.png" file and if I run the script it should get "myPicture.png" as the result
If a program has a file open you can use this procedure to find which program.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - Right click Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. Type (or copy and paste by right clicking in the Command Prompt window and choosing Paste).
openfiles /local on
Reboot
openfiles /query /v
I try to launch a self written autoit application called "KeyShortcuts.exe" using a batch called "launchMacros.bat". This applications provides keyboard shortcuts for various things and includes a GUI which shows me the available shortcuts.
launchMacros.bat:
start "MyMacros" "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"
The application does start and I'm able to use every shortcut but I'm not able to see the GUI.
If I start the application direct (double click on KeyShortcuts.exe) everythings works fine.
I also tryed starting the application using runas:
runas /user:REQUIREDUSERNAME /savecred "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"
Same problem here. Even right click -> "Run as administrator" doesnt worked.
Any suggestions?
If your batch file is in a different directory than KeyShortcuts.exe, you may need to specify the starting directory using the /D parameter for START.
Like this:
START "MyMacros" /D "M:\applications\AutoIt" "M:\applications\AutoIt\KeyShortcuts.exe"
Every batch file launched from Windows GUI create a new console window, run the batch file, then close. If you need this to be different, there's several ways:
Create a shortcut to CMD /K YOURBATCHFILE.BAT
Add a pause to your BAT file
Here's a demonstration of method 1:
New > Shortcut
Type the location of the item: C:\Windows\System32\CMD.EXE
Type the name for this shortcut: InsertYourNameHere
Click Finish
Right click on your Shortcut and go properties
Change Target to: C:\Windows\System32\CMD.EXE /K "InsertYourBatchFileName.BAT"
Click OK
Done, now you have a shortcut that opens a new console window and leaves it open whilst ir runs your batch file.
