run batch script with title bar disabled

[althurm]

Hello all,

I have a batch script that I need to run in a WinPe environment. The script may require some user interaction, so I would like to run it with the title bar of the console removed so that the user has no way of closing/stopping the script midstream (or alternatively the X button greyed out or disabled). Does anyone know how to do this? Maybe by some autoit function?

Quick and dirty solution.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
Const $GWL_STYLE = -16
Const $WS_POPUP = 0x80880000

$pid = Run("c:tempbat.bat")
$hWnd = WinWait("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe")

$style = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd,$GWL_STYLE,BitXOR($style,$WS_POPUP))

Doesn't block Ctrl+C though.

If you really don't want them to stop it you should consider converting the bat into an autoit script.
