how do i run the batch files hidden or minamized?

how do i run the batch fies hidden or minamized?

Dunno.. but i personally sugest you to leve it like that, so you can find out what worked and what didn't work, but that's only a sugestion

i got a log file for that

Look for a small application called cmdow

You can use CMDOW. Or you can use Quick Batch File Compiler, and convert your batch file to EXE and use the "Ghost" feature. This is better than CMDOW.

ty for the help

Take note that some of us weren't able to launch a compiled batch to .exe (using Quick Batch File Compiler) from cmdlines.txt so the workaround is to launch from winnt.sif:

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\Install\RunOnceEx.exe

if you run a batch file with the Start /MIN command it launches it minimized.

You can also use IEXPRESS to create an EXE to run your batch file, and you can make this run it hidden.

The only problem (correct me if i'm wrong here) with compiling to EXE is that you will still need the original batch file if you ever need to change something, and then you will also need to recompile the batch to executable.

The next time an upgrade for software comes out, you can't simply edit your batch, you need to edit the batch (assuming you were smart enough to keep it), and then recompile to to executable.

Obviously, this is not a big deal and won't really take you any more time than creating the batch file would, but if you use this method, remember to KEEP your original batch.

Yes that's true but you can also say it is safer this way. Nobody can steal your code...

i want to use it hidden bez i am making a login scipt for differnt users i need to inset that

If I'm not mistaken, the START /MIN is for the application that the batch launches. But not for the batch file itself.
