Title: How to minimise the Batch File
Post by: digitCruncher on January 27, 2009, 06:44:26 PM

I know how to minimise the program that is running (I have read some guides), however, I can't seem to find out how to minimise the batch file.

What I do, while running XP, is double click on a batch file, which runs a javax file. However, that javax file also needs many additional files, and as a result, needs to be run using a batch file.

Unfortunatly, that means that the batch file is visible, which would often disturb several users of the program. Ideally, I would like the command prompt either invisible, or minimised.

Is this possible?

(Ironically, the batch file is only one line long, but that line is very long-winded, and very error prone, so it is easier to use it)
