    Running .BAT or .CMD files hidden (invisible mode) Using Script

    Windows Script Host’s Run Method allows you run a program or script in invisible mode. Here is a sample Windows script code that launches a batch file named syncfiles.bat invisibly.

    Reference: Run Method. Setting intWindowStyle parameter to 0 hides the window.

    Let’s say we have a file named syncfiles.bat in C:\Batch Files directory. Let’s launch it in hidden mode using Windows Scripting.

    1. Copy the following lines to Notepad.

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

      Note: Replace the batch file name/path accordingly in the script according to your requirement.

    2. Save the file with .VBS extension, say launch_bat.vbs

    3. Edit the .BAT file name and path accordingly, and save the file.

    4. Double-click to run the launch_bat.vbs file, which in-turn launches the batch file syncfiles.bat invisibly.
