    Quick question:

    How to would I go about hiding the server CMD

    Im on windows 7 btw.

    --------------

    Reason 1: People ex it out by mistake
    Reason 2: When people cuss and stuff...Well other people really dont need to see that

    ---------------

    Also I am not cheap, I am going to get pro hosting but first I am testing to see how successful my new server will be before I actually pay for hosting.

    Thanks - Gonzxor

    I recommend instead minimizing it or moving the right-side of the console window past the edge of the right-side of the screen (effectively hiding the close 'x' box). I find having access to the console is incredibly useful so wouldn't want to lose access to it via hiding (unless you also had a way of making it re-appear).

    That said, if you google around on "hide command prompt" you can find some solutions. One I saw posted involved using VBScript (.vbs file) to launch a .bat file. And another a command-line tool to silently launch a process. I haven't tried either of these but no reason they shouldn't work.

    I run my server on Win7 under a separate user account. So as long as I do "switch users", the command window isn't accessible. It's also more secure, since the Minecraft account has no privileges and no access to the other users on the computer.
