I made a java program for a pop-up from time to time by running a batch file. Application is working fine but after running the application(Batch file) we are able to see the cmd prompt in taskbar(minimize state), but i want the application run in background (like skype or gtalk). Please help me. Thank you in advance

Use a vbs script to invoke the batch script it would hide the window

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "yourbatchname.bat",0,True

Make sure you launch it using javaw (instead of java).

Relevant portion from the first link from the first search here:

This is provided as a helper so that application launches its own GUI window and will not launch a console. Whenever we want to run a GUI based application and don’t require a command console, we can use this as application launcher.

I hope this helps you.
