How do I run a .bat file minimized?

Hey, everyone!

So, I created a .bat file that will open My Computer. I made it so the cmd window would start minimized because I don't want it to be seen. Now, if I open the .bat file, it will work just fine, the cmd window will not show up and My Computer will open. However, if I run the .bat file while I'm on my desktop, which is exactly what I want, it will not start minimized. The cmd window will still appear. How can I fix this?

I've tried creating a shortcut and setting it to start minimized (which was what I did on the text above), I tried installing this thing that will run it minimized but the cmd window will appear and disappear in a flash, I tried creating a .vbs file but I couldn't get it to even run, but nothing would work like I wanted.

Thanks in advance,

P.S.: I apologize if this is not in the correct section.

I've done that too, but it still doesn't work.
The cmd window will still appear and the code will repeat itself over and over, opening endless Computer windows ending up on freezing my laptop.

Thanks for replying!

Did that too, didn't work aswell.

My current script is the following:

Code:

start C:\Windows\System32\cmd\min.exe
explorer ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

The first line is that thingy I installed to start it minimized. When I tried with the /start command, I replaced it for the first line.

I'm basically using Rainmeter with a Skyrim skin (it allows you to customize your desktop). It has several menus, and if I open one of them I can customize what options it will have. So I have one option to open Computer. So when I click that, it should run that .bat file (called OpenComputer.bat), but the .bat file must not appear, even when I'm on my desktop.

That worked! Thank you so much :)
