in thread sorry for the noob question, but I need to know how to hide the command prompt

hehe....i thought of that idea last night..i picked .wl but .wp does sound more logical...I may switch it :) Thank you very much though! However, I still want to better this code :) is there a way I could do that in my program. I plan on making a fully fledged proggy eventually. It will have an install file that will set a few settings in it, then hopefully it will associate .wl (or .wp, whatever the user chooses) with wperl.exe :). Thank you and everyone else very much. the help has been great :)

    File assiciations are set via the Registry. There are several modules to manipluate the Registry, e.g. Tie::Registry.

      do you know where in the registry the file associations are for windows xp? i can't find anything on google either....usually I can find stuff, but not lately :( sucks!! thanks for all the help :)
        a quick googling brings up this and some more that looks interesting.
        Also, almost every make-a-installer software can create file associations.
