    That worked.

    I started with a win32 blank app and removed the code that created a main
    window.
    I did a cretaeprocess with the no window param and set the command line to
    the name of my command file. (devBU.cmd)

    I was hoping that there was a way of launching via scheduled task, something
    already in the Windows system that would take a command line and do it
    without displaying a window.
