I Currently have a batch that I made running on startup wich checks to make sure all of the computers on my network have the correct time on them. My question: Is there a way to send the batch file to the background so that I wont have to see everytime I start up my computer?

I usually set up a shortcut which has something like 'cmd.exe /c somefile.bat' then set the shortcut's property option to run minimized.

For just running BAT files in the background, I kinda second Matthew: I simply add the batch file to Startup list in the Start-Programs menu. Then rgt-clk to get Properties and set the shortcut option to Run Minimized.
