The execmd command executes a command of Command-Prompt (Console Window) without displaying anything on the screen and the exec command runs an application, and optionally specify one or more command-line parameters for the executed application. The [show/hide] parameter specifies whether the running application will be visible or not. If 'hide' is specified, the running application won't be visible to the user. See the help file for more info. :) I use this utility to execute some commands in the Enhanced Context Menus (second link in my sig).

Herby Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I've tried it and it works: NirCMD exec hide "Path to Batch File\Batch File.bat" or NirCMD exec hide "Path to Dos based app\Dos based app .exe or .com" :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285837-hide-command-prompt-window/#findComment-585480532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
