I got it to work. Simply create a shortcut to the bat file in the same directory which will create a .lnk file. Go to the properties of the lnk file and set it to run minimized. Then, go to the scheduled task and "manually" enter the path+file name of the .lnk file.
If you click browse to search for the lnk file, it won't work.
Then run the task and all you will see is a little flash or minimized icon on your taskbar while the bat does its thing.
