How can I detect if a batch file is started as administrator?
Can you give us some more information?You know in Vista or Windows 7 where you click Run as Administrator, well I wanna detect if the user has clicked that on the batch file.

You could check your event log.

Code: [Select]
if "%username%"=="Administrator" (
echo User is Administrator
) else (
echo User is not Administrator
)

That ony APPLIES to the Administrator account. I ASSUME the OP wants to make sure the user has RUN the batch as an administrator. Although I have 0 experence in this, I use XP.

In that case, Vista & 7 have the whoami command. Type whoami /? at the prompt for full information.

Well isn't that neat. Can you post it? I don't have vista or 7 so I can't see for myself.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, Google works great though
