My idea is similar to dbenham's. Took me forever to figure out how to minimize the current console window though. I banged my head against the wall trying to get the cmd window not to ignore an Alt+Space keypress using Wscript.Shell's .SendKeys method. Finally I turned to PowerShell to handle minimizing and restoring the working window.

The advantage to this over dbenham's is that you'll inevitably have some rectal-cranially inverted user who gets bored with the running of your script and terminates it with the red X. dbenham's won't catch that, but mine should.

@echo off
setlocal

if "%~1" neq "wrapped" (

    rem :: Map network drive
    net use y: \\computername\c$ >NUL

    rem :: minimize this console
    powershell -windowstyle minimized -command ""

    rem :: relaunch self with "wrapped" argument and wait for completion
    start /wait "" cmd /c %~f0 wrapped

    rem :: After script completes or user interrupts, remove drive mapping and restore window
    net use y: /delete >NUL
    powershell -windowstyle normal -command ""

    goto :EOF

)

:: Main script goes here.
:loop
cls
echo Simulating script execution...
ping -n 2 0.0.0.0 >NUL
goto loop
