Run application with elevated privileges on an UAC system

Applications, which don't request elevated rights from UAC, but you want to run it with more privileges, can use RunElevated.

RunElevated request elevated administrator permission for another program or script from system.
You can elevate a batch file, the command line prompt cmd.exe, a file manager, a script, a single command like net.exe, older applications or any other program.

To run your file elevated, you simply have to drag and drop the application onto RunElevated.exe.
Further possibilities are creating a shortcut, a batch file or any other way to call the command
>> RunElevated.exe Application.exe <<
