Run a completly hidden batch file

How do I execute batch files at startup so that I won't see the cmd like black window. I have this batch file which I use to attach vhd file on startup:

  @echo off
SET TEMPFILE="%TEMP%\%RANDOM%.TXT"
echo SELECT VDISK FILE=X:\sap.vhd >%TEMPFILE%
echo ATTACH VDISK>>%TEMPFILE%
DISKPART /s %TEMPFILE%
del %TEMPFILE%

Is there anything I could do to make the execution invisible?

One way you could achieve this easily is through VBS.

Create a VBS with the following content:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

Now you can run wscript "[vbspath]" "[batchfile]" to execute it silently.

  • what do I do with it?do I need to place it on the task scheduler, how am I supposed to call wscript.exe on startup together with the arguments that you supplied Jan 5, 2011 at 14:47
  • There is an option for "Add arguments" in the "New action" window when adding an action. Jan 5, 2011 at 14:51
  • I note that those newbies who want to get their feet wet using Visual Basic can try the 'express' version visualbasic.about.com/od/learnvbnet/a/LVBE_L1.htm
