I am creating a windows application as a startup application. It will be started automatically on system startup. I want to delay the start time of my application for 5 minutes. For this i have created a custom script with below code and placed it in 'startup' folder. 

```
@Echo off
TIMEOUT /T 300
start /b /d "{application path}" application

```

It will launch the application immediately after delay time completed. At this time command prompt window is appearing as below.

But for my requirement, this command prompt window must be hidden. How to do this?
