Question

I have a VBScript app which create Symbolic Links.

Set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
.....
linkcmd = "mklink /D """ & linkFolderPath & "\" & linkName & """ """ & libfolder & "\" & folderName & """"
    cmd = "cmd /C " & linkcmd
    wshell.Run cmd, 4, true

This is fine and works, but when I create a lot of links, each execution of the wshell.Run command results in a transient console window appearing and promptly vanishing.

Is there anyway to prevent the console window from being created so visibly?

You can use this VBScript to run cmd commands hidden, just incorporate it into your script:

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "cmd /c yourcommands", 0, True
