How to run a .bat file without opening a window

[Jitisha]

I am making use of "run as" for running a .bat file. This starts a .fwd file. This is working and I don’t have any problem in running that but the only problem that I am facing is that I am forced to end the window through the dos command (file .bat). I don’t want to close the Window. If it is possible and you know that how can I do that then please l post over here. It will be very useful for me and other users who are searching for the solution for the same.

I think that I have understood that what you need to do. Have you tried to use the Exit command? If not then you should type the Exit command in the end of your batch file and this will do it. I asked this to one of my friends who is expert in DOS commands. You should try this and see whether it does what you want to do. Thank you.

You can use the "cmd /c <program>" for running the batch file. You will find that the shell will get exit once the program exits. You need not to give details well what is starting what. You might use the start command, as in "[cmd /c]start /b <program>". If you want to see that how can you use that then you can run the command "cmd /?" and/or "start /?” This will show you all the details about that.

Windows Script Host’s Run Method permits to run the .BAT or .CMD files in the invisible mode. It’s very simple and you can do it very easily.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) 
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Batch Files\syncfiles.bat" & Chr(34), 0 
Set WshShell = Nothing

You have to copy the lines given above and paste that in the notepad. Save this file with .VBS extension. Now you have to edit the name for the .BAT file and the path for it accordingly. Save that file and double click on the .VBS file and this will run that in invisible mode.
