In Windows, you can create a shortcut, then edit the shortcut properties to change the program being called.
I set my 'Target' (in the shortcut) to: C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -Xms512m -Xmx1g -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar "ApacheJMeter.jar" This allows you to set the JVM memory config, and start JMeter without any command window. Also, you want to set the 'Start in:' location to match the JMeter 'bin' directory. That being said, the command window is sometimes helpful - especially when your test plan has a bug in it. Since the errors get reported in the console window. -- Robin D. Wilson Sr. Director of Web Development KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc.

You can also try jmeterw.bat - that produces a console window, but it disappears very quickly. Note that there are some circumstances where JMeter cannot write errors to the log file and has to use the console. [e.g. log directory is not writable, no disk space. There are probably some other conditions that prevent a log record being written] Such errors will be lost if there is no console.
