You'd probably have to use AT scheduler or something to truly hide it. You can use:

start /b

to exectue a subcommand without a new window, but you'll still have the "parent" window.

You can use:

start /min

to at least start a command window minimized.

Hi,

there is a small utility out there called "RunHiddenConsole". It was
developed to run batch files completely hidden without showing (or
annoying flasing) the console window. You can go to http://www.msfn.org/board/tool-hide-con ... 49184.html
then register and download it. Works Great btw.

You can simply convert the bat to an exe using a converter, this brings up no cmd window and has the same effect (at least in what I've tested so far), or you can make a vbs that executes your bat like this:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\path\filename.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Although this means you need both a vbs and a batch file.

Does anybody know how to make a batch file open a new cmd subcommand without a window? I already tried;

start cmd /b

that just has the same effect as ;

start cmd

so the /b swich has no effect there the /min does not work either, any ideas?

Ah switch in wrong place, its;

start /b cmd /c

This will run a subcommand with no window then terminate when the line has run.
