   Actually, it's not my personal preference. Mainly due to the requirements of   
   using Task Scheduler, because it requires administrator privileges.   
      
   My personal preference is to use VBScript to run the program as hidden. It   
   basically uses the desktop ShellExecute function. It's advantage is that no   
   administrator privilege is required to use it for launching a program as   
   hidden. It's disadvantages is that it's not as easy to use as using Task   
   Scheduler, and it will require programming knowledge if the script is not   
   yet available at hand. So, it's not ideal for inexperienced users.   
      
   Using the previously mentioned Task Scheduler method on the other hand,   
   makes the GUI of the program not enumerable by most window managers because   
   those windows managers only work on the current user's desktop. Basically,   
   the hidden GUI is super hidden. But this method must not be used if at later   
   time, the (hidden) GUI needs to be accessed for e.g. program   
   reconfiguration.
