I'm trying to put a .bat file in my startup folder so it will run code when my computer starts up, but I don't want to see it. The batch file runs an .exe file with arguments. I was using this code in a .vbs script.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Test\My.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

When I run it, it calls the .bat file and the bat file doesn't run the .exe with the parameters. Why is this? When I run just the .bat file, it calls the .exe just fine. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how I could edit the code to make it work.

Check out the use of the START command as illustrated in this question. The first answer in that question has more details, but here is the simple answer:

start /b "" "c:\Path\To\Your\Program.exe" -arguments

You do not need to use a VBScript application. You can directly call the executable file. Just create a shortcut of the executable file and place it into the startup folder, then set its arguments from shortcut properties` target section. Make sure to choose minimized window position because "you don't want to see it". A sample setting that is:
