   • many-elevations-using-gsudo-cache.cmd: Batch script version
   • many-elevations-using-gsudo-cache.ps1: PowerShell version

3. Don't show an UAC pop-up: Perform an elevated admin task if and only if it can be done without an interactive UAC pop-up. (i.e. when already elevated or gsudo cache is active)
