DESCRIPTION

RunQuiet is a little Windows 95/NT program that executes a windows application
as hidden. It's useful for invoking batch programs without nary a peep from
the windows interface. (Sure, you can set the properties of a shortcut to run
it "minimized" but you get a brief blip on the task bar.)

I use it for hiding the execution of batch files that I have the system agent
run periodically.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USAGE

runquiet [/w] [/d <directory>] [/m <max|min|hide>] /c "<command>"

/w => Wait until the program is finished before exiting
/d => Specifies the working directory. If not specified, the currect directory
      is used
/m => The mode to run the program in: maximized, minimized, or hidden.
/c => The command to execute. Use quotes for commands containing spaces.

The /c option must be last, but the other optional options can be in any order.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE

runquiet /w /m max /c "c:\windows\system\command.com /c dir c:\ > c:\dwc.txt"

The above line invokes command.com, tells it to get the directory for c:\, and
output it to the file c:\dwc.txt. The /w flag tells it to wait until the
process has finished before exiting. The /m flag tells it to run the command
maximized.
