Start cmd.exe with echo off on Windows

Question

I would like to know how to start a cmd.exe window with echo already turn off. For example, I have the following Command line :

start cmd /k test.exe

which start test.exe in a new cmd window. But in this cmd window, echo is on.

Is it possible to start test.exein a new cmd window where echo is off ?

Answer 1

> cmd /?

/Q      Turns echo off

So this should do the trick:

start cmd /q /k test.exe
