Hello again, I think I learned something too, cmd indeed does run either call of the script in it's own window, only powershell opens the other window. And yeah if it's only for a minor convenience I suppose it might not be worth sinking too much time into :), but to throw some other suggestions out there, there does seem to be alot of possible ways to configure the powershell, or maybe wrap the script in a batch file or call from a batch file, and there also seems to be a 'legacy console' mode for powersell but I havent tried it.

Thanks for the welcome.
