Hide on Taskbar?

[MrVee]

Hi Guys...

I have written a small batch file for some programs we're running at the company. I do not want my users to be able to close this batch easily or by mistake. Is it at all possible to hide the tab that this batch file creates on the taskbar?

Please help, this is kinda urgent.

You can use a specially written utility such as CMDOW or even cWnd. You could also just launch it with a simple vbscript or a slightly less simple one such as this.

A good option would be to schedule the task using the system account. When you schedule a task using system, there is no interface, although the process is still visiable to task manager, so the user would not see anything. When you run as the system service there is no user interface because it cannot interact with the desktop. You can schedule a task with scheduled tasks, and in xp pro (not home) with schtasks.exe
