<br />
====<br />
CreateObject(&quot;Wscript.Shel<wbr />l&quot;).Run &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&nbsp;&amp; WScript.Arguments(0) &amp;&nbsp;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;, 0, False<br />

During startup we are running a command line application.. the command looks something like <br />
<br />
C:\app\runme.exe -d10 alpha d 40x<br />
<br />
We need the DOS box to be hidden from the user... suggestions? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The second part of the problem is that the task running needs to be set at LOW or BelowNormal priority so not to interfere with regulat operation (its normally highly CPU intensive)<br />
<br />
(High point value due to urgency)<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hide MS-DOS box in Windows XP

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
