Re: Running Windows batch file silently

Should you go the script route, do keep in mind that many people might have turned off scripting due to virus threats.

It's been so long since I've created a batch file that I can't remember
the
specifics, but I think you can make it run minimized if you wrap it in
a
PIF.

However, why not use a script (ie: VBscript or WSHSHell) instead? Much
more
powerful, and it doesn't require the interactive cmd prompt.
