how to copy file to system folder in batch

Question

i want to copy a file to system32 folder using a batch file. but when i try to do this it says "Access denied" i also can not copy anything to my C:\ drive also. i tried using xcopy and copy to do this. i don't know what is the parameter to get the administrator permission. so, can anyone help me?

program:

@echo off  
xcopy abc.dll "C:\Windows\System32\" -y  
pause  

output:

D:abc.dll  
Access denied  
Press any key to continue . . .  

Answer 1

Should be doable one of two ways.

The first is to make a shortcut to your batch file, right click -> properties and on the Shortcut tab of the properties, click the Advanced button to find a checkable "run as admin" option.

The second (NOT TESTED) is to add a bunch of stuff to the top of your batch file (Reference) - I don't want to include it in the answer because I have not tested it.

Answer 2

@echo off  
copy /Y abc.dll "C:\Windows\System32\"  
pause

right click the batch file and run as administrator and make sure the abc.dll is in the same folder as your batch file.

hope this helps.
