Try this.
Create a shortcut to the SyncToyCmd.exe file. If Windows7 complains about not being able to create a shortcut in the same directory as it did for me, then create the shortcut on the desktop and move it from the desktop into the same folder where the
.exe is, or where ever else you would like to keep it. Right click the shortcut and get the properties for it. Make sure the shortcut is named the same as the .exe file. Set the "Run" property to "Minimized" which will
run the .exe in a minimized window.
Now schedule the shortcut to run instead of the .exe program. Do this by setting up a scheduled task as you normally would. As long as you have named the shortcut the same as the .exe, all you have to do is add a .lnk to the end of the path of
the application to run in the task scheduler.
"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe.lnk"
After this, when ever the scheduled task runs, it runs the shortcut to the application in a minimized window, and you don't see it!
This technique can be used to run any program in a minimized window, not just the sync toy.
