title: How to execute a scheduled task with "schtasks" without opening a new command line window?
body: <p>I have a batch file that creates a scheduled task using <code>schtasks</code> like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>schtasks /create /tn my_task_name 
                   /tr "...\my_path\my_task.bat"
                   /sc daily
                   /st 10:00:00 
                   /s \\my_computer_name 
                   /u my_username    
                   /p my_password
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works OK except the fact that when <code>my_task.bat</code> is executed - a new command line window is opened (and closed after execution).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to avoid opening this new window (i.e. to run the task in quiet mode, in the background).</p>
  
  <p>I thought to use </p>
  
  <pre><code>start /b ...\my_path\my_task.bat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I don't know how, because since I have to call <code>start</code> from the batch file I need to precede it with <code>cmd /c</code>, which again causes the new window to open.</p>
  
  <p>How could I solve this problem ?</p>
