I just finished my epic program, now I need it to run in the background.
I compiled it with BAT To Exe Converter and set it to invisible, but when I try to run it, i get the following error:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Which OS do you have?
Some folders belong to other users or are somehow restricted to you. How this works depends on the OS and the SECURITY policy on you computer. In a BUSINESS environment the policy might have been set by SOMEBODY else.

This is Windows XP. I just use it at home, and I have administrator rights.
Here's the top of the error box (it's a popup):
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\3E2.tmp\run.bat
By the way, my batch works on its own, but the converted format gives the error.bat2exe only works on plain DOS batch files. If you use long file names or any NT command-line extensions than it won't work.Try this one instead.

EDIT: Holy crap, I cannot get it to stop. I've ended the run.bat process in Task Manager, but it keeps running! D:Try posting the revised code so we can determine what it's doing and why,,,Maybe at the end of your code you could use the taskkill command on conhost.exe.
