When I manually select to run a scheduled task it prompts me for which program I want to use to open it. if I let the scheduled task run at its scheduled time it shows it has run but doesn't actually do the task in the action.
the action is simply to run a vbs script, in the program/script box contains the full path to the script I wish to run c:\scripts\myscript.vbs
there are no arguments. I know someone is going to say you should put cscript.exe in that box and the script location as the parameter but that's not the point, it produces a command prompt that way which I don't want appearing and this worked fine in windows 7 the way I described above. this was an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8, so I was hoping everything was going to run fairly smoothly by keeping all my settings, but there are some odd things going on, this being one of them.
how could I make this script run like it used to and without showing the command prompt window. cmd /c cscript c:\scripts\myscript.vbs also doesn't make the command prompt window disappear, it remains until the script finishes.
thanks
