How do I minimize the command prompt from my bat file

Question

I have this bat file and I want to minimize the cmd window when I run it:

@echo off
cd /d C:\\leads\\ssh 
call C:\\Ruby192\\bin\\setrbvars.bat
ruby C:\\leads

One option is to find one of the various utilities that can change the window state of the currently running console window and make a call to it from within the batch script.

You can run it as the first thing in your batch script. Here are two such tools:
