&gt; I'd like to make the cmd window not pop up though, I know it only sits there for 10-15 seconds but my users are complaining.<br />
<br />
So, it's better to wait 10-15 seconds and not see anything? Won't users still complain? Especially if they don't know what's going on. How about putting a message in the window? At least they know what's happening.

You don't know my users. &nbsp;I'd really like it just be silent, they won't really notice if their pc runs slightly slower for a few seconds at startup, but that big black box that shows up does. &nbsp;The box itself even says &quot;Creating Restore Point&quot; and we've emailed the users and let them know that's what we're doing. &nbsp;Still getting complaints. &nbsp;I just need to know if there's a way to run that exact function quietly.

Thanks, Davis. &nbsp;I believe that will work, deploying it now after testing it on my own machine.

to do a fully hidden exe or bat file, make a something.vbs and put this in it<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41782423-1"><span>Set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)</span>
<span>WshShell.Run chr(34) &amp; &quot;C:\foldername\filename.exe&quot; &amp; Chr(34), 0</span>
<span>Set WshShell = Nothing</span>
</code></pre>

Unfortunately, Aaron, i'm not allowed to use vbs scripts here. &nbsp;Thanks for your input though, my initial system restore process was a vbs script.

I used the method listed below to create a .lnk file, I then used psexec to push that .lnk file to each workstation. &nbsp;I then added a command in the logon script for the users to run that shortcut on login. &nbsp;It's working perfectly, creating almost daily system restore points. &nbsp;I'd like to make the cmd window not pop up though, I know it only sits there for 10-15 seconds but my users are complaining.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there's a simple argument or something I could add to the .lnk or possibly the logon batch file but i'm not as familiar with scripting this type of stuff as I should be.<br />

I've created a .lnk that creates system restore points on demand.  I want to run it &quot;quietly&quot; or &quot;in the background&quot; so my users do not see the cmd window.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
