How to hide command prompt window when using system exec

[Mike Mogenson]

Hello, I'm using the system exec VI to do some file transfers for a LabVIEW application.  I'm worried that the black command prompt window with white scrolling text that pops up when system exec is called might frighten the non-tech savy users of this LabVIEW application.  Is there a way to hide the command prompt window?

Wire a TRUE to the Run Minimized input.

Wire the Run Minimized window to True.  I tested this by asking for a directory (saving the output in a LabVIEW indicator).  By "default", the "black screen" flashed briefly, but when run minimized, I never noticed it.

Thanks, that was an incredibly easy solution that I missed.
