Console Application.... How do I minimize it?

Hi eveyone...

I have a console application which runs as a Scheduled Task on an XP workstation which runs every hour.

Unfortunately when the program executes it interupts the user from what he is doing.  Is there a way that I can tell the console application to minimze that window that it is in?

Thanks,

Fark

If you use the windows task-scheduler, try the following: Instead of referencing
to the executable, create a link to the it an let the scheduler call this link. By
opening the properties-page of that link you can choose "Execute: Minimized"
in the property window.
