A program that runs a batch file (.bat or .cmd) in minimized mode.

This time,Batch fileWe will introduce "CMD_MinRun.exe", a program that runs the command prompt window that appears when you run ".bat" or ".cmd" in a minimized or hidden state.

Please use this when you want to run a batch file in the background.

How "CMD_MinRun.exe" works and how to use it

How it works

• "CMD_MinRun.exe" cannot be executed directly
• extensionYou cannot run files other than ".bat" or ".cmd"

When the program is executed, it reads the command line arguments passed to the program, and if the number of parameters is "0" (no arguments), it determines that it was executed directly, displays a message, and terminates the program.

If the number of parameters is not "0" (if there are arguments), a regular expression is used to determine whether the argument file has the extension ".bat" or ".cmd", and if the extension is different, a message is displayed and the program is terminated.

If the number of parameters is not "0" and the extension is ".bat" or ".cmd", the batch file will be executed minimized or hidden.

*The program will terminate immediately after executing the batch file.

How To Use

1. Left-click the batch file and hold it down, then move it over "CMD_MinRun.exe" and release the left-click (drag and drop).

2. Execute the command from Run, Command Prompt, Task Scheduler, etc.

For example, if you want to run "Bacup.bat" in the Documents folder, write the path to "CMD_MinRun.exe", a space, and the batch file you want to run.

"%USERPROFILE%\Documents\CMD_MinRun.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bacup.bat"

The location of "CMD_MinRun.exe" does not have to be the same as the batch file, but be sure to enclose each path in double quotes.

When registering in the Task Scheduler, specify the path to "CMD_MinRun.exe" in "Program/script (P):" and the path to the batch file in "Add arguments (optional) (A):".

For example, if you want to back up some files periodically in the background, this is useful as it doesn't get in the way and you don't want the command prompt window to appear while you're working.

2024/04/26 Ver 1.0.0.1 :

Added the option "/h". Using the option "/h" allows you to run the program in a hidden window.

Example:

"%USERPROFILE%\Documents\CMD_MinRun.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Edge_Profile_Bacup.bat" /h

Source code explanation

In Autoit, $CmdLine contains the command line arguments passed to the program.

$CmdLine[0] is assigned the number of parameters, and $CmdLine[1] is assigned the path to the program executed by "CMD_MinRun.exe".

The following code checks the number of parameters, and if the number is "0", the program terminates and displays a message box saying "This program cannot be executed directly."

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16 + 262144, "エラー", "このプログラムは直接実行することはできません。", 0)

The following code checks whether the extension (last four characters) of the path of the file executed by "CMD_MinRun.exe" is ".bat" or ".cmd".Regular expressionChecking with (StringRegExp).

If the extension is ".bat" or ".cmd", run the batch file minimized.

If the extension is different, the program will terminate and a message box will appear stating "This program cannot be run unless it has the extension '.bat' or '.cmd'."

If StringRegExp($CmdLine[1], "\.bat$|\.cmd$", 0) Then
    Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Else
    Exit MsgBox(16 + 262144, "エラー", "このプログラムは、拡張子が「.bat」または「.cmd」以外は実行できません。", 0)
EndIf

2024/04/26 Ver 1.0.0.1:

• Add option "/h": Using the "/h" option allows you to run the program with the window hidden.

2026/05/19 Ver 1.0.0.2:

• [Bug Fix] Support for simultaneous processing of multiple files: Fixed an issue where, when passing multiple files or arguments, the second and subsequent data items were ignored. This ensures that all arguments are correctly passed to the batch file, even when dragging and dropping multiple files.
• [Bug Fix] Fixed execution error with paths containing spaces: This update fixes an issue where, if the path or arguments contained spaces, the path would be truncated due to the specifications of cmd.exe in Windows, preventing the program from executing correctly.
• [Improved functionality] The /h option has been made more flexible in its detection: We've improved the internal detection logic for the /h option, which is used to run batch files invisibly, so that it is correctly recognized regardless of its position in the arguments and switches to invisible mode.
