Console applications and batch scripts are regularly run at Windows startup and in schedule. The main inconvenience of this is that every application creates a new console window which flickers on the screen. Hidden Start (or Hstart) is a small startup manager that allows console applications and batch files to be started without any windows in the background. Hstart is very small (~12 Kb), but it allows you to: - start multiple applications in the specified order synchronously; - start console applications without any windows in the background; - set the working directory and priority class of the created processes; - handle UAC privilege elevation under Windows Vista; - show simple messages after command execution. Hidden Start is licensed as freeware, full size of the download is 0.01 MB. You can download a free version of Hidden Start by following download link at Free Downloads section of this page. Hidden Start is developed or distributed by NTWind Software and is listed under system utilities launchers & task managers.
