How to start a program with admin privileges in a batch file

Question

How do I start/call a batch file from another, but with administrative privileges, so that it doesn't give me errors like the following?

Access is denied error code 5

Here is something like what I would like it to be.

echo PLEASE TYPE YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN THE FIELDS BELOW.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
set /p u=Username:
echo.
set /p p=Password:
start next.bat %u% %p%

No matter which way you chose, You must accept run it with admin privilege, so the point is which way is shorter? You could Right Click > Run as administrator as jean-Michael said although I prefer james approach (using vbScript) but if you don't want to use another vbScript file and just want benefit of just click on batch file and accept run with admin privilege (Note you have one right click and left click less) I suggest you this:

create a shortcut from your batch file and right click on shortcut > Properties > Shortcut Tab > Advanced now check the Run as administrator check-box. every time you execute it from the shortcut you just have one click to accept run it with admin privilege.

Hope this help.
