 Replying to [comment:10 hamish]:

 > ... is there a way in windows to run a .bat file without opening a dos
 box?

 AFAICT, if you execute a console program (such as cmd.exe) via Explorer,
 the console is shown automatically (although you can configure it to
 minimise the console).

 You can execute a .bat file from another program without the console being
 shown. E.g. if the Python script:
 {{{
 import subprocess
 subprocess.call('test.bat', shell=True)
 }}}
 is given a .pyw extension, running the .pyw file via Explorer will execute
 the .bat file without a console being shown.
