[Batch File] Execute program without actually opening up command prompt?
I am a newbie to batch files I guess, but somewhat knowledgeable about Unix shell scripting. I used to make executable shell scripts in bash a lot to do simple commands exactly the way I wanted, but of course, they would not actually open a terminal unless I told them to. It was a good way to run a program a certain way easily. Is there any way to do this on Windows? I want a file I can click on and it will open one program and then open another. But I just want the programs to open, not the command prompt to pop up as well. Is there any way to do this?
This is what I wish to do (it has been placed in the correct relative directory):
Quote:
Xming\Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindow
PuTTYPortable\PuTTYPortable.exe

Right now it runs, but it also pops up the command prompt, which is the part I do not want. How could I accomplish this?

Try this:
Code:
 
@echo off
Xming\Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindow
PuTTYPortable\PuTTYPortable.exe

This could be done quite easily with a VBscript
Code:
Dim WshShell

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

WshShell.Run "Notepad.exe", 1
