I create a small Batch file to play musics for a whole day ,and put a shortcut in the start up folder.
But I prefer to get the dos prompt windows to be in the back ground. Any possibility to do that ????

Thank

If you right click on a batch file, choose properties. One of the tabs of the properties for the batch file should allow you to run the batch file minimized... Choose that option then ok out of the properties window. A .pif (program information file) will be created for the batch file... Move the .pif file to the startup folder (not the actual batch file, make sure you move the batch file out of the startup folder or it will run twice at startup) and it will run the batch file minimized....

I hope that's what you mean.
