Posted May 12, 201014 yr Hi I am trying to launch notepad.exe and if someone closes it, I will bring it back up (polling one time every minute). For this I am using schtasks When I run schtasks as the currently logged in user I have no problem at all. I am using the following command: schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 1 /tn "notepad_task" /tr "\"C:\WINNT \notepad.exe\"" But I want to start this as system user. I therefore add the /ru system to the end of the command. The command now looks the following: schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 1 /tn "notepad_task" /tr "\"C:\WINNT \notepad.exe\"" /ru system The problem is that even though this command will launch a notepad.exe (I see it in the process list), the notepad.exe application is not visible on screen, nor is it visible in the taskbar. Why is this, and how can I make it visible when running it as user "system"?
