    Hi,
    I need to set a scheduled task to be running a program's GUI.

    I created the scheduled task from a Administrator session and set it to run and use the Admin user's credentials.
    I then delegated the appropriate rights for the limited user to be able to run/stop that scheduled job/task.

    From the limited user's session I can start/stop the task (and see in the application's process running in the taskmgr)
    but the application's GUI runs hidden :)!

    My question may sound ridiculous but I need to make the limited user be able to run/stop
    a couple of apps with elevated privileges without going each time to do runas.....
    maybe run this application as service ..?

    Is there a way to do it ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I see no one has answered ... meanwhile I found what I was searching for.

    My GUI is a icon tray small app that will be running as SYSTEM account
    >> starts as scheduled task @ system startup under SYSTEM account.

    This icon tray app will enable a ''limited privileges user'' to perform a short list of ''allowed system actions"

    How to set the scheduled task to run as SYSTEM  but INTERACTIVELY  (not hidden)  in any other user's session :
    using :       at   8:30   /interactive   pathOf_theProgramToRun
