<YOUR BATCH SCRIPT HERE>

Hello!
How to use it as a single modular file that can be used in the main one by a call?
I tried calling it, but apparently there are two issues doing it:

• The UAC is not making the user grant access to the main one, but another one (highly probable it is the file the UAC is scripted in)
• The UAC does not handle the "no" answer, and escape it

Hi,

sorry, this is many years old and I don't use it anymore.
