How to hide command prompt for batch file

Question

I have a batch file that runs some commands and open some files in explorer. I want to happen these actions without opening any command prompt. Is it possible? If so, how?

Answer 1

Not exactly your answer as you probably don't wanna use VBS but yes, it'll make command prompt completely invisible.

1. Save your code in a batch file lets say My.bat.

2. Create a VBScript file lets say Master.vbs and call your My.bat file within it.

Lets assume your batch file is at C:\Test\My.bat then:

Master.vbs:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Test\My.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

It'll run your batch file in invisible/hidden mode.
