  2. Set maxbatch.bat to run as administrator
  3. Edit maxbatch.bat to make it cd to the game directory first, since running it as administrator made it start in C:\Windows\System

These steps made it work. Step 3 could be replaced by making a shortcut that gives the game directory as an argument, if one wanted a less hacky solution.
Did you actually place the script in the game directory? If you used any version after 0.85, the script should have elevated itself if it was in an uac protected directory requiring admin level.

edit:
just retested it in w7x64 ult, to make sure it was working, and it did. here's a pic showing what happens when it's in an uac protected directory: pic

you should not have to take the steps you suggest, so I'm wandering how you got that situation?
