Well, I found this utility which seems to have solved my issue. I'm in no way affiliated with this tool. Just found it Googling.

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.

I'll second the recommendation of HStart. We have been using this utility for a couple of years with no problems. I don't often trust the results of a Google search for a utility, but Hidden Start is a good one. Sande

Try this one:

wscript.exe "C:\yourpath\invis.vbs" "your file.bat"
in invis.vbs put...

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False


That should make bat files silent at least
