@echo off

    rem Check if started from javascript part of script.
    rem We are checking an environment variable set from javascript part.
    if "%_run_hidden_%"=="true" (
        goto startBatchWork
    )

    rem if not started from javascript, call javascript part to restart batch.
    wscript //E:JScript "%~dpnx0"

    rem End of batch area. Ensure batch ends execution before reaching
    rem javascript zone
    exit /b

@end
// **** Javascript zone *****************************************************
// Instantiate the needed component to interact with Shell
var shell = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell');

    // Set the environment variable that the batch part will check to know
    // it's running hidden
    shell.Environment('Process').Item('_run_hidden_')='true';

    // start the batch part of the script calling %comspec% with the current
    // script as parameter, hidden (0) and not waiting for it to end (false)
    shell.Run('"' + shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings('%comspec%') + '" /c "' + WScript.ScriptFullName + '"', 0, false );

    // All done. Exit
    WScript.Quit(0);
