VBhide not hiding

1
I have a problem for some reason with Vbhide on one XP computer. I have some
code running on 30 XP machines and it runs fine, but one XP machine doesn’t
want to hide the window when executed.

The below code is an example of the line of code that opens the window and
does a task. (Dir is just an example)

Shell("command.com /c dir", vbhide)

On the 30 computers it works on, this code executes behind the scenes and you
don't see anything. On the one XP you see the command prompt window open, the
task runs then closes when finished.

Any ideas what could be causing Vbhide not to work on that one computer?
System setting, registry values, anything...

Thanks
