At second thoughts I realise that your command

tasklist /svc > mytasks.txt && notepad.exe mytasks.txt

makes no sense anyway. Why would you execute notepad.exe
conditionally? It should, of course, be

tasklist /svc > mytasks.txt & notepad.exe mytasks.txt


If tasklist doesn't run or errors, why would I want notepad to open a file that doesn't exist or is empty? I'd rather not have notepad open and block my view of the DOS prompt to see the error that resulted from the prior command.
