Pants I can't use *start *because I am calling it from AppSense and it doesn't like *start*
Anyone know a better way to hide a command window? I have a batch script that enumerates whichever groups a user is a member of with a specific description that runs at logon, I just don't want my more impatient users closing it and killing it while it runs. I tried calling it via VB but my VB skills are not much further on than my PS and this seemed a bit hit-and-miss. Anyone have any better ideas?
