VB 2008 Express: Launch Batch Files?

[metroid maniac]

I have a bunch of Batch files in the same directory as I am going to put a Visual Basic program, But I do not know how to launch them and I do not know how to give them administrative privileges

I am running Vista Ultimate

Hi there, and Mr.Maniac.

Your question is just a little bit vague, so let's just try to sort things into order.

Which directory ? And why must you put batch files and your program into this one directory ?

What is the program ?

What are the batch files ?

Did you produce both the batch file and program scripts yourself ?

Do you know how to gain full administrative rights in Vista ?

Do you know how to "Take ownership" in Vista ?

You dont have to reply with pages, and pages of details. Just some quick and snappy answers to the questions, so that we can get you travelling as quickly as possible on the road that you've chosen.

Nevermind, I've got it to work by using

shell (C:\randomdirectory\randombatch.bat)

and I used a mess of shortcuts to make the batch files ask for administrator if needed.
