scheduled tasks AND backgound dos shell

[lupien1]

I have a dos batch (.bat) file working fine and doing these tasks:

1- preparing files
2- launch a console program (DOS program)
3- copying result files

I use scheduled tasks to launch the batch file each 10 minutes. The automatic launch is worwing fine, but i would like the DOS shell windows to run in background.

Thank you bcaster,

I try:

filespec="d:\123\abc.bat" '< edit the location & name
createobject("wscript.shell").run chr(34) & filespec & chr(34), 0, false

After telling Norton to accept to run once, the batchfile run in background. That's what i was looking for, but i need to install this scheduled tasks at a client place where computer security is very high. So i don't think they will accept to let vbs running or the cmdow to be install.

I made a link to my batchfile and set the RUN properties of the link to MINIMIZED. When the link is launch manually, everything is done in background (OK). When i ask scheduled task to launch the link, it does not respect the link properties and the DOS windows still appear.

If you have any other suggestion.
