Vista - how to run a script without a window

Hi.

Is it possible to run a scheduled script without a window? My script runs
twice an hour and the window, although it's there only for a couple of
seconds, is disturbing.

That did it. Thanks.

I've been watching my Vista machine closely, but I do not see any
action popping up, even though the script runs. Maybe it is because I
told Task Scheduler to run the task even if there is no user logged
on...

Interesting. Maybe it just works in Vista. I have to try that.

It works, alright, BUT there's a but. Events 1517,1524 (registry in use) get
logged every time the script runs. Can't have that either.

I'm trying to reproduce the events you seem to be getting. Are you
running the scheduled task with the same credentials as the currently
logged on user or different?

Scripts are run as a different user (who occasionally logs on). When logged
on, there are no errors in the event log. Without the wrapper Powershell
scripts pop up only if the user is logged on, of course. I installed MS's
UPHclean service in order to get rid of the warnings. It works, but
UPHclean's log events aren't too pretty either. I wish there was a clean and
invisible way to run scripts.
