Hi, What is the syntax needed to call an exe from a batch file without having the cmd window showing? I can't remember nor find it.

thanks

I don't think you can, however, part of what you're looking for might be:

@call filename.exe

Give that a shot...

I don't think it can be done either. My virus scanning software (Computer Associates) loads executables at boot on my machine, but it shows as small black windows for a couple of seconds. I'm sure these developers wish they could keep that from happening as well.
