Not exactly sure it this is what you asked for. To show a tip in the taskbar you could AutoIt. It is simple Here is a quick sample script. ;Only one copy loads $G_SZVERSION = "V1" If WinExists($G_SZVERSION) Then Exit AutoItWinSetTitle($G_SZVERSION) ;$CmdLine[0] contains number of arguments ;CmdLine[1] contains the first argument TrayTip("Title here", $CmdLine[1], 5, 1) Sleep(9999) TrayTip("clears tip from tray","",0) TrayTip("", $CmdLine[1], 5) Sleep(9999) Call it lets says tip.au3 Compile the script into an executable and use it in your command script. Attached is the compiled au3 script. Use it like tip "Some information here" where tip is the compiled executable and "Some information here" is the information to display. Hope it helps. Start here if you are new to AutoIt. AutoIt Home Tip.exe
