help hiding a bat file

[abispac]

how do front ends hide the mame comand window?
Im testing some stuff up in hyperspin and it works like a charm now, but i get an ugly comand windows everytime i launch a bat file, so i wonder if is an easy way to hide that windows just as the front ends do, thanks for any help.

the first line in your BAT file

@echo off








also you can add >nul at the end of command
ex:

Mame pacman >nul



hope that's what your looking for.

echo off just doesnt print anything in the window, the window still pops up. There may be an option to run minimized though...

See LeChuck's reply #1.  This is the only thing that worked for me.

I think you may be able to create a shortcut of the batch file, and within the shortcut properties, you can select to run it minimized. I'll check it out.

EDIT: going this route does indeed work, the only trace is the icon in the taskbar.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\arcade\tronswitch\4way.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
