Batch Script to copy contents of one folder to the other under C:\Program Files (x86) location. Not working - Acess Denied Error

Question

I have written simple batch script, which copies contents of one folder to the other. I have already logged into the machine as Admin. I am working on windows-7 machine.

Folder 1 and Folder 2

Location of folders :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder1  
C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder2

If i am running my script by double clicking it, i am getting Access Denied. If I right click on file "Run as Administrators" it correctly copies.

Expected Behavior: On directly double clicking the batch script it should copy the file.As i am already logged in as Admin.

Waiting for valuable feedback, from fellow coder's

Answer 1

Following script, helps to run your batch file as "Run As Admin".

@echo off
if _%1_==_payload_  goto :payload

:getadmin
    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
    echo %~nx0: running payload with parameters:
    echo %*
    echo ---------------------------------------------------
    echo ADM is launching. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.
    cd /d %2
    shift
    shift
    echo Name of the batch file which you want to run as admin
    CopyFiles.bat 
goto :eof

exit
