How to hide the CMD console from this code?

Question

How to hide the console from within this code? Currently the cmd console is shown everytime I run this code.

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{            
    String applicationName = "cmd.exe";
    // launch the application
    ApplicationLoader.PROCESS_INFORMATION procInfo;
    ApplicationLoader.StartProcessAndBypassUAC(applicationName, out procInfo);

}

How can I execute a *.bat file from here? Can I simply can substitute the "cmd.exe" with "xxx.bat"?

Add a System Reference to the code;

using System Diagnostics;

Then use this code to Hide the CMD Window and run.

Process cmd = new Process();
cmd.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
cmd.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
cmd.StartInfo.Arguments = "Your arguments";
cmd.Start();
