running scheduled programs in background

[JeffH]

When I used Windows 98 I had bat files that were
scheduled to copy files every five minute from one
computer to another. In the file setup the was run
minimized check box.

I need to do the same thing in windows XP. The problem
is when the schedule file runs it flashes on the screen
until its completed.

Were do I set it up to run minimized or is there a better
way of doing this?

Thanks!!!

Try the START command in a batch file. Type
START /?
at a DOS prompt for more details and then write a proper START
command-line in a batch file and schedule the execution of the batch
file.
