Vista - bat to vbs

I have a bat file that works great. The problem is my company wants
only VBS so when the user logs on it will not open a command prompt.
I need to convert it so it will run silently with no box popping up.
I relay need to learn VBS.
It copies the users NK2 file to a network share at log on. It works
with Vista and XP as we use both.
Below is my bat file.
Can anyone convert this to a VBS so it runs silently?

Thanks

The FileSystemObject has a FileExists function and a
CreateFolder method (comparable with makeDirectory).

shortcut to the batch in the startup folder (instead of the batch) and set
it to run minimized? This feature has been around since Windows 3 but nobody
seems to use it. Personally, I would reduce the batch rather then create a
vbs.

How do you make the batch file run minimised?

shortcut is created, you right click it and select properties. Now explore
it's tabbed properties dialog for an option called "Run" and set it to
minimized and press "OK".

Thank you. I have found that you could also use

@echo off
start /min C:\test.bat
exit

for example from another bat file.

news:OxL$m7YAKHA.1248@xxxxxxAlternately, one could write a vbscript that users the .RUN method to launch
the batch file in such a way that no command window is created. See the
intWindowStyle argument here:

Please elucidate on what you are not sure about so we are on the same page.

news:#VpBKI7BKHA.4792@xxxxxxYes, I realized that.
I'm not sure how applicable the shortcut trick would be to the OP's original
question which seemed to me to be in the context of a logon script. He said:

"I have a bat file that works great. The problem is my company wants
only VBS so when the user logs on it will not open a command prompt."

In retrospect I suppose it is possible that he is talking about running a
script from the startup folder in the start menu, in which case a shortcut
would work perfectly well. It just hadn't occurred to me that that was the
context (even though you explicitly referred to the possibility), as
domain-based logon scripts are easier to manage. And when they do run, you
are connected to the network, and not logging in locally with cached
credentials.

I think you and I are on the same page now, I'm just not sure about the
OP...
