Exec always shows the console window.



But if you don't need to access StdIn/StdOut/StdErr streams, you can use Run. It hides the console window if you set the 2nd parameter to 0:



var WScriptObj = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");



// Run the command and wait for completion

WScriptObj.Run("...", 0, true);



// Run the command but don't wait for completion

WScriptObj.Run("...", 0, false);
