why don't you convert a bat into a com or a kix into an exe? so users can't see the administrator password. is it possible?
ASE can do things differently whereby you don't have to elevate with a runas type utility and embed a password. Using ASE to make an EXE is less secure than using the ASE alternate creds feature.
If you don't understand the implications of security you should not be trying to elevate permissions.
