Re: Refreshing desktop and running script on the background

You were right after all aGerman, using the converter is not a good idea, in stead I did a do until loop on my vbscript so that it executed the batch file 2 times and that solved my problem

Re: Refreshing desktop and running script on the background

I think that calling 2 .bat files from the .vbs script may work but I'm not an expert in .vbs scripting so I don't know how to implement it. Hope someone that knows how to do it reads this.

Re: Refreshing desktop and running script on the background

Solved it calling the .bat script in a .vbs with this code

Code: Select all

Set oShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
Dim strArgs
strArgs = "cmd /c MoveItemsFromDesktop.bat"
oShell.Run strArgs, 0, false
Hope it helps someone else. :D
