is there an option to 'task schedule' a non interactive batch file? chris <creichert[ at ]skylight.com> 5/15/2007 11:26:29 PM Hi All, In the good(?) old days Windows schedulers had an option to make your job interactive (or not). With Windows 2003 there is no longer any such option that i can see. All i want is to run a batch file in the background - i do not want to see a command window pop up where/while it runs. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any input! Chris

Just use an account that is NOT the currently logged on user, when you create the task. Like, you could create an admin account called robot and give it a strong password, then use that to run your scheduled task. Make sure your script or batch file / exe does NOT pop up message boxes etc. "in the background". It should write a log file for results etc. CreateWindow http://justpageprobe.com The FREE Web page utility you always wanted. Monitor your enterprise Web Servers. Keep your router connected.
