Has anybody tried this

Has anybody tried this yet?

It looks pregnant with possibilities ...if only I can work out how to use it!

Although I ran 'run notepad.exe' a few times, including after renaming it to 'runnotepad.exe', no notepad appeared. Until I looked in Task Manager and saw 3 instances of notepad.exe running invisibly!
To test it with a self-limiting program I tried running a Q&D batch file to xcopy notepad.exe to nitpad.exe (all with absolute addressing) and it created no error messages - either when run from the console or the Windows 'Run' box - and no nitpad.exe either.

Not this but...

I found a similar thing called cmdow, need to google for it, I can't remember the URL.
An example would be:

@echo off
..\cmdow\cmdow @ /hid
..\jre1.5.0_06\bin\java -cp lib\freemind.jar;lib\ant\lib\jaxb-api.jar;lib\ant\lib\jaxb-impl.jar;lib\ant\lib\jaxb-libs.jar;lib\ant\lib\namespace.jar;lib\ant\lib\relaxngDatatype.jar;lib\ant\lib\xsdlib.jar;lib\ant\lib\jax-qname.jar;lib\ant\lib\sax.jar;lib\ant\lib\dom.jar freemind.main.FreeMind
..\cmdow\cmdow @ /vis

This hides the java window that pops up when I run freemind using the JRE on my USB.

Here's another

NirCmd

This thread has some examples of all these apps.

Here's the link to 'cmdow'...but the thread above talked me into liking NirCmd better.
