I've actually just figured this out myself.
If you call the application from within the script, doing away with the need of a batch file, create a shortcut with the following command line;
c:\windows\wkix32.exe -i kixscript.kix
.. instead of;
c:\windows\kix32.exe kixscript.kix
..the script will run in invisible mode and not cause a problem.

This is probably really obvious for seasoned kixtarters...
