Need to Hide DOS Box

I am running a ZEN 3 Custom Action that calls a command to map a drive on an NT Server. The DOS Command box shows up on the screen. Is there any way to set this up to run without the DOS BOX showing up on the screen? I am afraid someone will click to shut the DOS Box before it completes. I have echo off so they don't see what is going on in the command. Thanks for you help.

These suggestions are for login scripts. This is not a login script, it is a DOS Command box. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Can the ZEN program be configured to run something else instead of that DOS box?. If you can, then make a shortcut to a batch file containing the "net map X: ..." instructions and modify the shortcut properties to run minimized. In fact, you can also change the title bar so it says something like "hey you!, don´t close this or I´ll erase your hard drive!" :)
