You mean the DOS Window right. Instead of a batch file (since this is Win2K we're talking about), why not use a VBScript file to run your application. Here's the necessary lines from one of my launcher programs

oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run(< application to run >)

No DOS window is ever shown.
