Silent batch file

Hello,
I would like to run a batch file in silent mode (without the DOS window poping up). How could I do that?

Add the following line:
@ECHO OFF
Any lines that follow will not be displayed on the screen as they are executed.

"(without the DOS window poping up)"
Are you running this in some version of windows? If so, run it minimized, and all you should get is a button on the task bar showing it's "open". (Unless there's some sort of output from the program which writes to the screen. If that's the case, try a redirect to nul if possible.)

I believe he's on Windows and wants that after double-clicking a batch file, it would run minimized (automatically)
1. Right-click on batch file 2. Go on 'program' tab 3. 'Run' or 'Execute' field (at bottom) 4. Select 'minimized'
That's for Win9x. As Dan said, you will only get a little button on the task bar saying it is running.
PS: That's not a DOS question, it's a WINDOWS question.

Ok Ok, it might be a window question. The fact is I didn't know if there were some kind of option before running the batch file from the cmd window. As I didn't know the answer to my question, I didn't know it was a window question. I'll try to be carefull in the future.
