Start process with batch file - want to close DOS console

[spasmous]

I want to put a .bat file in my startup folder to run the following
command:

"C:\Program Files\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow

It starts an X server and basically runs in the background. The problem
is a DOS console opens up and stays there until I manually close it.
The X server continues running fine after I close it. What I want is
for the DOS console to execute the command then go away. I can't figure
it out - tried various combinations of cmd /c, start /d and other
things that don't work. Help appreciated!

Try finish the .bat file with exit on the last line.

"C:\Program Files\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow
exit

Try this:

start /b "Spasmous" "C:\Program Files\Xming\Xming.exe"
:0 -clipboard -multiwindow

I use a small freeware program called "hidden". It has been removed from
their site because people are using it to hide malware but they will send it
to you upon request.
