hi,
Is it possible to run a batch file silently e.g. no dos window up and the batch process running quietly.
If so could someone tell me the sntax please.
all i've found is the /m command which only minimises it so any help would be really great.

erm, you could shove it all in winstart.bat, cos this gets run behind the s h i t t y cloud screen. the only problem is that it gets run before windows starts, so it aint much of a decent answer.

There is a small program floating around but I forget the name of it. It is possible. If you send me an email, I will send the file when I find it. It's somewhere on my computer at home.
