Jens' last SHELL example will suppress the output, but I would suggest that single quotes be used on the outside and double quotes around the robocopy parameters if there's any chance the parameters could include spaces.In so far as the consoleless WKiX, as long as there's no output to the console, it should not bring up a DOS box. You do however output to the console so there's no point in running the consoless version. Also, you launch from a batch file , so a DOS box is already generated. I did not suggest you not use /b but rather that you use KiX32 so as to avoid the /w.
