Is there a way to force startnet.cmd to run minimized? I have a nice splash screen that I would prefer not to be covered up while PE is booting.

The only way i found to do that is to replace winpwshl with something that can run apps minimized.
I Wrote a small vb6 app for it for our needs earlier. Today I launch my VB6 app drectly and execute the needed commands from my app instead

If you don't want to get that crazy, you can include a small freeware utility named "hider.exe" and have it run as the very first line in your batch script...

Usage: Hider.exe hide command prompt

Later in the script when you need it to be visible:

Usage: hider.exe show command prompt

I am not the writer of the software nor does it gain me anything if you use it... Linkage: http://www.humus.ca/...?page=Cool&ID=2

CMDOW is the one I use on my PE disks.
