Title: is ther a way to run a batch prog silently
Post by: teimu on April 21, 2004, 06:06:10 PM

is there a way to run a batch program without a window open? therefore, when executed, it will not be seen by the user. Or perhaps there is some way to align it so it is off screen?
i just would like a program to run without the apearance of it doing so.
thanks

Try @echo off
I do that all the time,
whenever you need to say something from the script, use @echo.
To stop just one command from showing, use @
IE. @del *.ini
