Please use some common sense. If you don't know where to put it do some research and learning about how Windows works.

I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
You're right, I should have been nicer.
@fige86 if you want something to execute then it needs to be in your execution %PATH%.
Actually I think you're wrong. Looking at the instructions quoted if he put cmdow in the start folder it would then run once as itself (uselessly) and once from hide.bat (which is actually what the original instructions are trying to suggest be placed in the startup folder...IMHO).

Thorin it was sarcasm the point was research or try it, now after looking at these instructions quickly
"Make a batch file and name it hide.bat. Inside the file type "cmdow /RUN /HID C:\start.bat". Place this file inside the startup folder."
the hide script just invokes cmdow to run the start.bat so I disagree with you
cmdow.exe would have to be in the same folder as hide.bat ie the startup folder as there is no path within hide.bat to reference cmdow.exe
if you were to want to put cmdow.exe in another folder lets say thorinsprograms the hide.bat would then look like this
C:\thorinsprograms\cmdow /RUN /HID C:\start.bat
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8–byte space, on purpose.
sigh
%PATH% is a global environment variable it's available for all command shells.
Open a command prompt and try:Code:echo %PATH%

Thorin your way more knowledgeable on windows batch scripts than me, are you trying to say any batch script in the start up folder wouldnt need a file path to execute a program in the root of c:?
