I compiled it to an executable, but to open it I have to right-click and press "Run as administrator". I want it to request admin privileges each time I run it, but how to do it?
I can't do this:
Because then it doesn't work when I copy it to a second computer.
Try adding this to the auto-execute section (top of the script):
; If the script is not elevated, relaunch as administrator and kill current instance:
full_command_line := DllCall("GetCommandLine", "str")
if not (A_IsAdmin or RegExMatch(full_command_line, " /restart(?!\S)"))
{
try ; leads to having the script re-launching itself as administrator
{
if A_IsCompiled
Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" /restart
else
Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" /restart "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
}
ExitApp
}
and recompile the script.
