Let a DOS batch script run silently in background Win7?

#1 Post by pstein » 19 Mar 2013 22:47

When I start a *.bat batch script in 64bit Windows 7 then always a CmdPrompt Window appears
showing some output (or not).


Is there a way to execute such a batch script silently in window? That means WITHOUT having a window
popup?

Like most programs, the window appears to coincide with a program running.

You can adjust the properties to run it minimised, or perhaps use VBS or a third party utility called CMDOW.EXE to hide the window.
