Hello everyone. I was wondering if there was any way to hide the xampp window when running under windows?

Hi.

Why you are wondering about it? If you start xampp with the xampp_start.bat or the .exe, it occures an open DOS-box you can't hide while the server is running. But you can install the server and MySQL as services (under NT, 2k or XP). There are batch files for doing that in the xampp directory.
