scheduled task in background mode

[Guest]

I'm trying to do it in that way as it reaches my needs but one thing that I'd
like to bypass is that when the task is executed the cmd window is showed.
How can I execute the task in background mode or almost minimized?
I've looked for a flag/switch that could do that but I haven't found it.

Thanks,

Schedule the task to run under an account other than your own.

Hi

Use a VBScript (.vbs file) to launch your program or batch file:

'--------------------8<----------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sCmd = "ping.exe -n 6 127.0.0.1"
oShell.Run sCmd, 0, True
'--------------------8<----------------------

In task configuration, set it to start the script like this:

wscript.exe "path to your .vbs file"
e.g.
wscript.exe "C:\Scripts\LaunchTask.vbs"
