Suggest some applications if possible ?
The issue is that he should not be the one running it. You are attempting security through obscurity. In this case, you are looking for the obscurity. You need to stop and think about goals. You are trying to do something impossible.

Then how .exe files are created any ideas ?

But I just explained that .exe can't do this either. He can still open an exe and see what it is doing.

Now i am having the file in encrypted which is not viewable in the PC but the file is not running in the machine B.A machine run the file

You need to change fundamentally what you are trying to do. Which we don't know what that is. Why do you want your friend to run this program? Clearly you don't think that he should have this access, so what is going on?

You can't run an encrypted file.

I'm going to give you a future recap of where this conversation will go...
- We will explain that you can't run something that he can't see.
- You'll ask how to do what we just said you can't do.
- We'll explain again that you can't do that no matter how you modify the words.
- You'll ask again how to do the same thing in a trivially different way.
- We'll start the process over.
Until you change what you are trying to do, the answer will be "you can't do that". What you are trying to do cannot be done, no matter how you attempt to obfuscate it.

You can't run an encrypted file.
Why the file got encrypted now ??It should be usable Right ?

Just open it with a hex editor and you can see the commands.

No, you have to decrypt any file to use it, always.

Why are you asking about this now that you know it is useless?
-
There is no need to encrypt and decrypt that BAT file, just give your friend the BAT file. Same results.

That's totally different than what you are talking about. He's talking about have the BAT file not pop up any windows.

What we have not heard yet is what you are trying to do. What is the goal here?
