Hi Deejay,

Use a VBS to call the BAT file.

Example:

Hi all
       I enjoy the contribution of this group very much.  I am
relatively new bat file scripting. here it goes
  I have the bat file  scheduled to run  everytime  a windows xp
machine turns on, the problem is the script runs fine,. the only
problem is a dos window pops up and shows the results. if i shut the
window the scripts stop running, which i do not want. ideally what i
want is to get the bat file working without a window.
So far I have tried help/?, I used some of the commands that might
help but no luck here. 
I have also tried logging in using different accounts and on  2 seperate machines. 
no luck here either.
any help here would be appreciated.
deejay
