Hello,

Wondering if any batch file gurus could clue me in on how one suppresses the DOS command window when a batch file executes? I have created a logoff batch file for my users to disconnect them from their network shares and log them off - the batch file works great. I used the "echo off" command to hide the batch commands as they execute within the DOS window, but I want the whole thing to run invisibly if possibe...no DOS window visible on the screen at all.
Wishful thinking?


Thanks,

dave

Or, create a shortcut for the batch and set to 'run minimized'

Not quite 'invisible' (it may show on the taskbar briefly)
