There're a couple of good suggestions so far. But start /b should not be one. 
That's equivalent to appending & to a command on UNIX/Linux, not nohup, which 
ignores SIGHUP signal. Windows doesn't have the signal concept. The Windows 
equivalent of nohup is running a command even after the user logs off. An 
"overkill" solution is to create a service to run your command. An easier way 
is to schedule a task. But if you have psexec.exe (from sysinternals.com), you 
can run the command as the pseudo user system, which obviously never logs off: 
psexec -s -d yourcommand. The -d switch is like start /b or & on UNIX.
