    anyone know the way to get hstart working with this;

    Code:
    powershell -command "& $env:temp\merge1.ps1"
    works no problem straight from the cmd line but I dont want the console to be visible in powershell, or anyone know how to hide the powershell completely?

    i think you could use the showwindow api

    simple asm example:

    .data
    winname db "Windows PowerShell",0

    .code
    start:
    invoke FindWindow,0,addr winname
    invoke ShowWindow,eax,SW_HIDE ; hide window
    invoke Sleep,5000 ; 5 sec delay
    invoke FindWindow,0,addr winname
    invoke ShowWindow,eax,SW_SHOWNORMAL ; restore window
    invoke ExitProcess,0
    end start

    thanks, you wouldn't know how to configure that from a batch or registry?

    hstart /NOCONSOLE powershell -command "& $env:temp\merge1.ps1"

    i would think. don't know for sure haven't been using hstart in a while

    i may be misunderstanding what you are wanting though
