This topic was very helpful to me, so here are my two cents worth.
First, do all the steps up to actually connecting.
Then paste "netsh wlan connect JoikuSpot_XXXXXXXXXYYY" ( replacing the exact SSID of your connection of course) in a blank notepad file, save as (ALL files type) SSID.bat on your desktop.
Run as administrator (right click) any time you wish to connect. That's it
************************************
If you want to get fancy, (credit to Evan Greene), paste the following instead, which will automatically run with admin priv:
"
@echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code starts)
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code ends)
:: Your codes should start from the following line
netsh wlan connect JoikuSpot_XXXXXXXXXYYY
"
Enjoy.
