run batch minimized ?

[KB]

I made a batch program to run in task scheduler to backup some files a few
times a day, problem is when it runs it opens a cmd window and runs in a
window on top of everything else I have open.

How can make sure it runs minimized ?

Thanks

If you have ticked the little box interactive in your scheduler, then try to
untick it.
There is no need for a batch file to run in an open window unless it has
something to show.
You can also try @ECHO OFF, or to redirect any outputs to null.

Add this line to the top of your batch. It should always run the batch minmized,
including from the commandline or double-clicking a shortcut. It also preserves
any commandline arguments, is stateless and allows the script to terminate as
usual:-

@set !=||(set !=1&start "%~dpnx0" /min cmd /c %0 %*&set !=&goto :eof)

I only wrote it this morning and therefore its never been used 'for real'. If you'd
rather play it safe, here's some links to previous threads:-
