    Scheduled task not displaying on desktop

    I’ve written an application in Visual Basic 2005 that displays a message on the desktop and scheduled this to run at the end of the day. When I right click on the scheduled task and choose run it works fine but when set to run at a certain time the scheduled task window says it’s running but I can’t see it. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably need to use the /interactive switch when defining the scheduled task. Take a look here for more info.
