Launch Batch Script to Prompt for Administrator Privileges in a GUI

Launch Batch Scripts as Administrator (with GUI UAC prompt)

Imagine you write a batch script(.bat) and you converted it to an executable file (.exe), then you try to run it, it says access denied.

You could add the runas command to your batch script and have to type the admin password at the prompt.

OR 

You should put into your batch script some additional batch code (as shown below) that launches the batch script or created executable (.exe) file as an administrator GUI UAC prompt, where we can select either yes or no options, rather than have to type in the admin password on the prompt.

Solved, tested and it works, find script below, copy and paste, then run.

@echo off
