I have a scheduled task (to run synctoy) that opens a command line window and runs taskeng.exe - is there a way to have this run silent (without opening the command line window) or at least run minimized? I have no access to the actual command, and wouldn't know of a parameter or switch to use even if I did.

Task Scheduler - taskeng.exe command line
- Thread starter dleddy
- Start date
instead of opening the command line just change it to open taskeng.exe
on the task scheduler create new task, after that on the action tab at the top select run program and browse for taskeng.exe
should work fine

I have also just setup SyncToy 2.0 to run at log on, but the taskeng.exe window shows at logon. I'd like to hide it too, but i've never used Task Scheduler before and i don't really understand the above advice.
Could someone explain it in really simple terms for me? Is it suggesting i run 2 tasks? Or just change my existing task?
Thanks, Mark

I had the same problem and finally found the solution. Tested on Windows 7 32bits.
Use hstart: Hidden Start - Run Apps In The Background - NTWind Software
In your schedule task...
Action: start a program
Program/script: "C:\some-path\hstart.exe"
Add arguments: /NOCONSOLE + the actual program and parameters you want to launch.
I use this method to call a php script using the task scheduler:
Program/script: "C:\Program Files\hstart.exe"
Add arguments: /NOCONSOLE ""C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe" C:\cron.php"
Hope this helps!

Thanks Yomanfu, good info. I have been using synctoy and task scheduler together for a while. A friend told me about hstart today, and a quick search of all three apps led me here. Your advice made it a snap to get rid of the pesky cmd window pop-ups.
Thanks!
