;Run a script using shellexecute runas. This will run the application/script
;at the highest available privilege level. Depending on UAC settings, this may
;cause a UAC prompt.

;Examples:
;elevate_this.exe c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe script.vbs /q /w /r /s
; THis would end up running wscript.exe with the arguments script.vbs /q /w /r /s
