PG is run via right clicking Windows Explorer when an executable is selected and selcting the Privilege Guard menu item.
Is there anyway to wrap this into a script\batch file so I don't have to remember to do this for certain apps?

You can simple add avecto to the beginning of your call. For instance, if you want to run notepad.exe as avecto elevated, simply put the following in a .cmd file: avecto notepad.exe
Additionally, you can alter the shortcut properties by adding avecto as mentioned above.

Can you please share the location of the avecto.exe – PrivatMamtora – 2017-04-18T19:01:00.443
Seems that avecto command is missing on latter versions, cannot find it anywhere – Fabio Marreco – 2017-08-03T20:06:29.613

Since avecto.bat is not available anymore you can use a general program requesting elevation like Johannes Passing Elevate.exe. Then just use elevate as you has used avecto, e.g.
elevate prog.exe
or
elevate -k script.cmd
As a nice side effect it works in arbitrary environments.

This does not launch DefendPoint for me, it only pops up the UAC dialog asking for an admin account. Are Privilege Guard and DefendPoint two separate products? – Scott Kuhl – 2020-02-03T16:58:40.823
1I'd love to see an answer to this one. I had a look around in the registry but I couldn't work out what hook it is that controls this context menu item. – Oliver – 2016-01-15T11:44:37.030
