How can I run a CMD or .bat file in silent mode? I\'m looking to prevent the CMD interface from being shown to the user.
I think this is the easiest and shortest solution to running a batch file without opening the DOS window, it can be very distracting when you want to schedule a set of commands to run periodically, so the DOS window keeps popping up, here is your solution. Use a VBS Script to call the batch file ...
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" )
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Batch Files\ mycommands.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
Copy the lines above to an editor and save the file with .VBS extension. Edit the .BAT file name and path accordingly.
