Need to hide a console window.

I am running Win XP Pro SP2 v2002 on
Dell Optiplex 745, 2GHz DCoreProc, 2GB RAM

I have a Windows NT Command Script (startWebLogic.cmd / CMD File) which I
have to have running in order to access certain web pages on my pc running
through Weblogic. The target in the shortcut is currently,

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k"c:\...\startWebLogic.cmd"

The CMD file opens in a standard windows console and remails open, closing
the window terminates the application meaning I can not access the web pages.

There is no need for me to ever not have this application open or view
anything displayed in the window.

I would like to add this file to the startup folder and have it run in the
background and NOT display a window. This is a corporate PC therefore I am
unable to install any non-windows applications to do this.

I don't know about Windows NT, but in XP (which is the subject of
this newsgroup) you can set Run: Minimized on the Shortcut tab of the
Properties dialog. That's how I run my Apache server.
