questions

Please post your code when you get it working.

A simple idea is to make the DOS Window less visible. less obvious. or more like an App Window

  • Screen size small e.g. 60x10 … it can be smaller like 40x3
  • Colored White/Gray or like App. There are new ANSI colors in Win 10. Yu canot make both colors the same.
  • Prompt just space ($S) not X:>
  • Title not “Command Prompt” e.g. “Copying…”
MODE CON COLS=60 LINES=10
COLOR  87
PROMPT $S
TITLE Copying...

You could run the Batch file Minimized making it less visible. The way I know how to do that is with START /min My.BAT. That’s not going to work with RUN(,wait). There may be other ways for a BAT to hide or minimize.
