Batch files

[delta4s]

How can I run a batch file in the background in XP Pro, instead of in a window ?
Thanks for the help

Create a VBS script like

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )

WshShell.Run "i:\temp\test.bat",0,True

There you see the specified batch file in "i:\temp\test.bat". Save this like TEST.VBS





..... or create a VBS script like

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )

Set args = WScript.Arguments

WshShell.Run args(0),0,True

Now you will run such a TEST.VBS with an argument
i:\temp\TEST.VBS i:\temp\test.bat

worked beautifully, thanks a lot. How can I stop the script though ? If I end the programs in task Manager, the invoked programs keep coming back.
