title: How create a batch file that opens a 32bit cmd prompt as Admin to run another batch file
body: <p>I have a batch file that I currently have to do the following to run:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open SYSWOW64\cmd.exe as admininstrator (it's a 32bit application)</li>
  <li>cd c:\mybatchfilelocation\</li>
  <li>then run my batch file batchfile.bat</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'd like to just be able to run one batch as admin that automatically opens the SYSWOW64\cmd.exe as administrator (prompting for admin username and password is ok) and then have that run my batchfile.bat</p>
  
  <p>I've seen where you can do it if you pre-specify the /user:machinename\administor in the batch file before running it and it only prompts for password but this needs to be deployed to customers and I can't rely on them editing the file.  I need it to run with prompts when input is required by them.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks to Bill, I no longer need to worry about the SYSWOW64 part.  I only need to be able to figure out how to have a batch file open a cmd prompt as an administrator and have that cmd run another batch file in that same directory.</p>
