Hidden Start handles console applications and batch scripts, which are regularly being runned at Windows startup and in schedule. For example, virtual drives are used for frequently accessed directories, meaning that the subst.exe console application has to be run more than once on logon.
The main inconvenience of this is that every application creates a new console window which flickers on the screen. The Hidden Start application was designed to be a small startup manager that will allow console applications to be started without any windows in the background.
Here are some key features of "Hidden Start":
· Start multiple applications with one command line;
· Start console applications without any windows in the background;
· Start multiple applications in the specified order;
· Set up starting directory for the created processes;
· Set up priority class for the created processes;
· Wait for user input of the created processes to check priority class (useful if application sets its own priority on start and you want to change it).
Limitations:
· Bypass UAC Prompt disabled
