Too many DOS command windows

Hello,

When I start my local J2EE engine from inside the Management Console it launches a bunch of DOS command windows.

Is there anyway to make those just go away after they have launched/started whatever process each of them handles?

It's not a huge deal but it's annoying to see all those DOS windows on my Task Bar AND there is always the possibility that one of them will get closed by accident thereby "screwing up something". It just seems kinda archaic to have all these DOS windows there the whole time I'm running my local engine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

David.
