Hidden Start - Run Applications and Batch Files without a
Console Window or UAC Prompt
Console applications and batch files are regularly run at
Windows startup or in a schedule. The main inconvenience of
this is that each application opens a console window that
flickers on the screen. Hidden Start (or Hstart) is a
lightweight command line utility that allows you to run console
applications and batch files without any window in the
background, handle UAC privilege elevation under Windows 7 and
Vista, start multiple commands in parallel or synchronously,
and much more.
