Windows – Can I get UAC prompt for user from batch file

Can I get UAC prompt for user from batch file?

For example I need put some keys to registry under CurrentControlSet from batch file by

  reg import path\to\my.reg

PS. runas is not a solution as my customers uses different Windows localisation and I can not guess which name used for Administrator account (this can be Администратор)…

And script don't know administrator password.

And UAC dialog box does not require password entering…

I really love this solution from Anders.

@if (1==1) @if(1==0) @ELSE
@echo off&SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"||(
    cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0"
    @goto :EOF
)
reg import path\to\my.reg
@goto :EOF
@end @ELSE
ShA=new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")
ShA.ShellExecute("cmd.exe","/c \""+WScript.ScriptFullName+"\"","","runas",5);
@end

Should work flawlessly
