How to start a batch file minimized with task scheduler in Windows 8? - %comspec% method not working anymore after Windows 7

Question

After Windows XP, I always use the trick below to start batch files minimized with Windows Task Manager.

Answer 1

The start command needs the leading "" quotes to disable the title feature. Try scheduling this:

%comspec% /c start "" /min "C:\Scripts\Destination_inbound_ftp5.bat"
