title: cmd windows suddenly minimising to the taskbar
body: <p>The past few days, whenever a cmd window opens (usually via a batch script or vbs file, but if I go to the Search box, type cmd and click on the cmd.exe result, that also does the same thing), the window opens on my desktop but immediately minimises to the taskbar. I want things back the way they were (no idea why the behaviour has changed), so that it remains up on my desktop, in its usual normal window, and I can read it. I am currently having to go down to the taskbar every time to bring it back up (which as I use quite a lot of scripting, is getting very frustrating).</p>
  
  <p>If I launch the script from a shortcut, it will open normally; whereas if I click on the script file itself, it goes to the taskbar. Since many batch or vbs scripts I run are part of a larger one, they are all pointed to the .bat or .vbs script itself, not to a shortcut. For example, this extract from a vbs script, which launches the batch script from the bat file (not a shortcut to that file):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim objShell
  Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
  objShell.Run("""C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Batch Files\FS\PF3-XP_ini.bat""")
  Set objShell = Nothing
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just to be clear, I have no instruction in the script itself for this to happen and scripts that I have used for years are now all being sent to the taskbar the second they open, instead of remaining in a readable window, as they always have in the past.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks.</p>
