That's maybe why the one test of calling the showwin.bat
by its full path didn't work when run directly out of the Windows registry.

I'll switch the order to bring up the CD earlier after I post this.

But that's OK because _all_ the other tests worked perfectly; 
and, likely I could have put the full path in the batch file
and then that one test would also have worked (most likely).

> I don't understand why you want to hide the console,

I forgot to answer this perfectly valid question from you.
I apologize. 

The reason is that the scrcpy console does nothing for me.
a. The console just gets in the way (as it has no way to interact with it).
b. The scrcpy console has to be manually minimized to get it out of the way.
c. And the scrcpy console uses up a precious slot on the taskbar.
d. Plus, it doesn't tell me anything that I want to know (if things work).

All of that is bad. None of that is good.
It's not horrible. But there's nothing good about any of that.

With the batch script, there is now no need to deal with the scrcpy console!
Thank you for helping me, and by way of extension, all the lurkers too.

BTW, here are the screenshots all together that were made for this thread.

In summary, with this set of solutions, anyone can instantly mirror
their Android phone on their PC (Windows, linux, or macOS) with a
shortcut (or Win+R command) without having to deal with the scrcpy
console window popping up and getting into the way of their nice setup!
