DOS Batchfile flashing up window 1

[robdon]

Hi,

If you call a batch file from the 'Run...' prompt then it pops up the command.com windows qucikly while the batch file is running.

This makes things look at bit bad... can it be stopped?

My batch file just contains:

echo . | time > c:\rob.time

But for some reason when its run, it pops up a black windows quickly.

(using the Run... is just and example, I'm actually using rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler c:\time.bat really)

Thanks,

Rob D.

you could create a Visual basic Script, and call the batch file from with there....
pop the following into a text file with the extension .vbs
eg time.vbs

[b]CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "C:\time.bat", 0, False[/b]
