Screen

[RBCC]

How do I get rid of the black screen in svcpack.inf? in a batch file? John

There are a couple of different ways to do it

1:\ cmdow.exe

This needs to be in either \Windows\System32 or the same dir as the batch file.

Then at the top of the batch file you need to have this

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

2:\ VBS method

You can use a vbs script to hide the cmd window.

This script runs Cmd promt 3 times

The First Time it a Dir cmd

The Second is it adds your name to the text file

The Third is it adds your computer name to the text file

It then open the text file, then deletes the text file

Save As HideCmdWindow.vbs

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Dim Cmd1, Cmd2, Cmd3, Txt
  Txt = "DirectoryList.Txt"
  Cmd1 = "%Comspec% /C " & vbCrLf & "Dir /b /a > " & Txt
  Cmd2 = "%Comspec% /C " & vbCrLf & "Echo  User Name	 : %UserName% >> " & Txt 
  Cmd3 = "%Comspec% /C " & vbCrLf & "Echo  Computer Name : %ComputerName% >> " & Txt
	   Act.Run(Cmd1),0, True 
	   Act.Run(Cmd2),0, True
	   Act.Run(Cmd3),0, True
	   Act.Run(chr(34) & Txt & Chr(34)),1,True 
	 Fso.DeleteFile(Txt), True

Yes, that's what I use: cmdow @ /HID so that I can watch my WINNTBBU pic, enjoyably!
