+---- Thread: [Shell] Run CMD Hidden from Run (WindowsKey + R) (/showthread.php?tid=4473464)
Run CMD Hidden from Run (WindowsKey + R) - Jon Snow - Oct 3, 2014
I have to run it hidden.... any way to do it?
That's what I'm doing right now:
cmd /c ipconfig
This will close the cmd right after command execution.
However, I need to have it completely hidden.
Any way to do this? Thanks

How about, instead of trying to do something in a very convoluted way, you explain what exactly you're trying to accomplish and we can go from there.

I want to run C:/shit.exe with Run -> invisible cmd -> blabla
Run c:/shit.exe won't work.

Look at the options for start /? I think there is a switch that hides the window. Maybe /B? For background process?
Why do you need to hide the window though?

Start only has /MIN as far as hiding. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to run C:/shit.exe, sounds like a very crappy thing to do.

Ah you're right. As usual. I'm not sure what program I was thinking about... Hmm.

Start /B is useful for multiple CMD instances running within the same window, great for threading.

You can use a .vbs to do this.
create invisible.vbs with the line below.
Code
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, Falseto use it call it like this from your script
Code
wscript.exe "invisible.vbs" "yourFile.bat"the only way to close it after that is to open task manager and kill cmd.exe

Here's a pure batch method of running something silently. It works by creating a Scheduled Task that will run under the System account. Requires admin.
Code
@echo off
REM Runs the payload silently
set "payload=C:\shit.exe"
schtasks.exe /s "%computername%" /ru "SYSTEM" /Create /SC ONIDLE /I "999" /TN "SilentTask" /TR "%payload%" /F>nul
schtasks /run /TN "SilentTask">nul
schtasks /delete /TN "SilentTask" /F>nul
