Thanks for your help.<br />
<br />
In the end, I had to create a VBScript file, as the Run as a different user wouldn't work, with scheduled tasks. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
For someone else's reference (in the future), the commands I used were:<br />
<br />
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(&quot;WScr<wbr />ipt.Shell&quot;<wbr />)<br />
WshShell.Run&quot;NetStat20.vbs<wbr /> &quot;,0<br />
WshShell.Run&quot;externalip.vb<wbr />s&quot;,0<br />
<br />
Works like a charm.. &nbsp;I don't even see the files run.. The only way I can even tell is occasionally, the External IP will disappear from CoolMon2 while the vbscript is updating.. Which is fine.. <br />

Hi there,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;This question is probably simple to answer, and I feel foolish asking it. &nbsp;I created a bat file that runs a couple of vbs scripts for a program (CoolMon2). &nbsp;And, I set up the scheduled task to run it every two minutes, so the information is kept up to date. &nbsp;The problem I'm having is, the dos prompt window comes up and stays up for the duration of the bat file.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;What is the command to make it run minimized? &nbsp;Either the command in the scheduled task or a command to put in the bat file would be greatly appreciated.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks for all of your help.<br />

Hi there,
   This question is probably simple to answer, and I feel foolish asking it.  I created a bat file that runs a couple of vbs scripts for a program (CoolMon2).  And, I set up the scheduled task to run it every two minutes, so the information is kept up to date.  The problem I'm having is, the dos prompt window comes up and stays up for the duration of the bat file.
   What is the command to make it run minimized?  Either the command in the scheduled task or a command to put in the bat file would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks for all of your help.

Scheduled Task Question (may not be the right area)

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
