Command prompt box in WinNT

Hey, I need to run a command every time a user logs on to a computer. I put the command in the hklm/ms/windows/currentversion/run key in the registry and it works fine. The problem is that people are complaining that every time they log on to the computer a black box (the command prompt) appears for a short while. They find it annoying. How can run the command without the box appearing? It is a command-line tool, and the box I am running it on is Win2k with Novell network. I have full administator privilege on the box. Thanks in advance! Simon

You can try creating a batch file of that command then create a shortcut of that batch file. Get properties on that shortcut. You should see a Run field with "normal window" in the field. Click it and select "Minimized". Then put this shortcut in the run key in the registry.
