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.
