Yes
See attachment. It still shows up.

I'm not sure if it would solve the problem, but have you considered simplyfing and using SyncToy?

If you want it to run completely invisible, try this...

Create a VBScript file like "RunInv.vbs" with the following line:

Code:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run ""   & WScript.Arguments(0) & "", 0,   False

Save that in your System32 directory and in your scheduled task call that file with robocopy arguments something like this:

Code:

RunInv.vbs "Robocopy C:\Users\User\Documents\Clive B:\Documents\Clive /NJS /MIR /E"

You need those quotes but I'm not exactly sure how to handle the quoted paths inside of it, whether it requires a double double quote or some sort of escape character. It might be a bit of trial and error from the command-line first.

I pulled that from this site:

windows - Run a completly hidden batch file - Super User

Or you could try something like Hstart or cmdow that has command line options for running invisibly.

I have found that the creation of a shortcut is irrelevant to the Task Scheduler as it will fixate on the Batch file itself not the shortcut...

I've found that their suggestion does not work on Windows 7. In-fact all the suggestions I've had don't work.
I've given up on this idea as all the suggestions don't work.
My thanks to all for trying.

Why use other software when I have already paid for roboform.

Why pay for software when something free and just as good exists *shrugs*.

Error

Yea, it's giving you an error because it's not meant to be run without command line arguments after it, as I stated/showed in my example to you.
