in reply to Re^3: Windows start /min
in thread Windows start /min

Calling "start dir" directly opens a new window with the output from above:

If you don't want a new window, use the /b option: start /b dir.

But I suspect that your real problem is the one haven't described. Ie. Why are you using start, rather than running dir directly?
