    Why do i have to run executable files as admin even though I have admin permissions?

    running DOS as ADMIN

    This runs fine from an ADMIN DOS window: Code:
    as shown by the LOG file that gets created (thanks for this good idea) as well as the expected output I was hoping for.

    However, when I run this same 'bat' file by right-clicking run-as-admin then the DOS window flashes momentarily and the output I had hoped for does not change, which is obviously telling me the command did not execute (probably because it lost (or never had) the required authorization).

    Is there a DOS command I could execute within my bat-file to query if I am running as an ADMIN (or better yet, to request ADMIN status)?
    Thanks,
    Dan
