title: Avoid blinking when launching a .cmd file
body: <p>I was downgraded from Vista to XP for reasons that are not relevant.</p>
  
  <p>I found very useful the snipping tool which is not available in XP so I decided to create my own. </p>

  <p>It works just fine so I put it int .cmd file for easy launching ( I didn't feel like creating the .jar file ) </p>
  
  <p>My only problem now is the command prompt screen pops up and disappear giving an unpleasant effect.</p>
  
  <p>This is it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo off
  start javaw -classpath lib\myutil.jar;classes recortes.Main 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way the command just run without blinking ? ( other than creating the .jar file? ) </p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have followed the advice of Jeffrey. I had a shorcut to the .cmd file, now the shortcut it self has the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code> "C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -classpath lib\myutil.jar;classes -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties  recortes.Main
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Start in: </p>
  
  <pre><code> C:\Users\oreyes\recortes
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And works just fine!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
