I've tried to create a shortcut for an program and ask for this shortcut to run minimized, tried .bat commands, still the program open an screen, showing that is working/doing its thing.

I dont want this to happen, i'm trying to hide the program from screen, I know there are ways to do it, i just want it to run in background, without popping the window. Just like an proccess that is only shown in the system tray or task manager.

And Task Scheduler its not in the question, just want it to execute without showing. really.
