Set DNS with just double click with Batch file

Sometimes we need to change our DNS address manually to gear up browsing speed. To do so with just a double click I have created a batch file. You have to just double click and type you preferred and alternate DNS server addresses. It will update the DNS to all connected network, so you need to connect to network first (It will not update DNS to disconnected interface).
Copy the below text and paste it to Notepad and Save as with *.bat extension e.g. SetDNS.bat or Download the file that I already have created: SetDNS.bat


@ECHO off
:: BatchGotAdmin
:inputDNS
REM Check for permissions
>NUL 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"

REM If error is flag set, It doesn't have Admin privileges.
IF '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
    ECHO Requesting administrative privileges...
    GOTO UACPrompt
) ELSE ( GOTO gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    ECHO Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    SET params = %*:"=""
    ECHO UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    DEL "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    EXIT /B

    CD /D "%~dp0"
