shell function

[bboht]

I am using shell to run some batch files. I don't want the user to see the ms-dos prompt screen so I use vbHide. I have noticed that if I use vbHide, then afterwords hit ctrl+alt+del there is an app in there called winoldap. Every time I shell another one of these winoldap's appear. Is there a way to kill these, or another way to run batch files other than with the shell command?

check the box close window on exit

I guess you mean comman.com. It already dos have close on exit clicked. any other ideas?

I think he meant the file that you're using shell to run - check the box for those.

Winoldapp is the trail of your finished hidden dos programs. You should check "Close on Exit" on the file.
