Launch Jupyter Notebook in windows without command window

Question

Is it possible to launch jupyter notebook without command console, i.e, without typing jupyter notebook and having a command window in your opened programs. I have made a batch file which I double-click to open the jupyter notebook. However, this step opens a command window and prints all the communication between jupyter and python processes. I want to eliminate this commandline window.

Instead of a batch file, one can use a shortcut.

To hide terminal you can run python scripts with pythonw.exe instead of python.exe. So I changed the Jupyter shortcut which was created after Anaconda installation accordingly. Mind that shortcut's Target field may have multiple python.exe instances, like the following:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pythonw.exe C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\cwp.py C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pythonw.exe C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/" Shortcut window screenshot

This thread seems to be the first to appear when googling the problem.

My solution is for Anaconda users: Launch Jupyter from the Anaconda navigator. You won't have to keep an open CMD window, as upon exiting the navigator you are given the option to close or not close Jupyter.

I use RBTray to right click the minimize button and have the window go hide in the system notification tray.
