How to prevent schtasks on Windows 7 from showing the command prompt after executing a task?

Cristian,

I don't know how others choose to do it, but I've used JoeWare's "Quiet" program to spawn hidden (except from taskmgr) batch files in the background.

You could also wrap the batch file (a little funny since it is calling a vbs) inside a vbscript file such as:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\HTTPcheck.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

The "0" parameter will force it to run hidden.
