SWEET! Just what i was trying to do. I have batch jobs that run every minute and it’s annoying to have them pop up all the freakin time. Thanks so much!

The minimizing the execution of the shortcut does not work in Windows 7 — shortcuts for .BAT files are not editable in the way described.

The VBS approach works just fine, however.

Thanks for that neat way of running a repetitive script inthe background.

is there a way to make the script run our .bat file as administrator?
