Running DOS in background

[Ron Brink]

I have a .bat file and when I run it (a scheduled
program) it always opens a command window (DOS window)
while it runs, then when it is done the window goes
away. What I would liek to do run this in "background
mode" so I don't see the window at all. Any idea? Am I
in the right group?

Create another user account with enough authority to execute the command,
and modify Task Scheduler to use that account. Whenever it runs, it runs
as that user (which isn't the currently logged on user). I do it all the
time.

That is probably the best answer for the OP.
But I offer also cmdow.exe
http://www.commandline.co.uk/

which can "hide" a window. Not actually "background task".
