For example, if I want to open the C drive, this is how I write it
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
CMDOW.EXE @ /HID
start c:\
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
It can be opened. But there is still a batch processing window. How to use it to hide the batch processing running window
CMDOW.EXE @ /HID
start "" /b c:\

When running, a CMD window will flash but then hide immediately.

The premise of running cmdow is to open a cmd window and then have cmd interpret and execute it, so there will be a flash of a cmd window when running.

If you don't want to display the window it runs, you can search for solutions with VBS.

Then what is the use of CMDOW? It made me search for ages, so just delete it!

What you want to achieve is running in the background, and cmdow is not suitable; you used the wrong tool.

Moderator lxmxn, could you please explain the usage of CMDOW.EXE? I downloaded it, but the help is in English, and my English is a bit poor, so I can't understand it. Could you please give a few examples?

The help of cmdow is in English, but it is relatively easy to understand. If you don't understand, look it up in the dictionary and try more parameter usages. I think it is not difficult to master.

I simply translated it:

If you don't want to display the running window, you can search for solutions with VBS.

You said you already have VBS. If you use VBS, why do you need this CMDOW.EXE? Isn't it redundant? Can the moderator give an example of what exactly the use of CMDOW.EXE is? I'm looking for it just to run a batch file in the background. If it can't, then it's useless!!!

I have already said that cmdow is only for window control. Using cmdow won't achieve your goal. Use VBS.

Also, just because it can't make your program run in the background doesn't mean it's useless.

If the owner can't find what you want in this forum, I can only say one thing, you really let down the hard work of several moderators of this forum! You can find it by searching for hidecmd.exe!

Lao Jiu's hidecmd.exe is a great thing, haha. I like it the most
