How to run vbs as administrator from vbs?

Add this to the beginning of your file:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If WScript.Arguments.Length = 0 Then
  Set ObjShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
  ObjShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe" _
    , """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ RunAsAdministrator", , "runas", 1
  WScript.Quit
End if

fun lil batch file

@set E=ECHO &set S=SET &set CS=CScript //T:3 //nologo %~n0.vbs /REALTIME^>nul^& timeout 1 /NOBREAK^>nul^& del /Q %~n0.vbs&CLS
@%E%off&color 4a&title %~n0&%S%CX=CLS^&EXIT&%S%BS=^>%~n0.vbs&%S%G=GOTO &%S%H=shell&AT>NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (
    %G%2
) ELSE (
    if not "%minimized%"=="" %G%1
)
%S%minimized=true & start /min cmd /C "%~dpnx0"&%CX%
:1
%E%%S%%H%=CreateObject("%H%.Application"):%H%.%H%Execute "%~dpnx0",,"%CD%", "runas", 1:%S%%H%=nothing%BS%&%CS%&%CX%

%E%%~dpnx0 fvcLing admin mode look up&wmic process where name="cmd.exe" CALL setpriority "realtime"& timeout 3 /NOBREAK>nul
:3
%E%x=msgbox("end of line" ,48, "%~n0")%BS%&%CS%&%CX%

If UAC is enabled on the computer, something like this should work:

If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("elevate") Then
  CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName _
    , """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ /elevate", "", "runas", 1
  WScript.Quit
End If
