I have a server and it don't have backup so I need to run my custom batch script to get files from sftp then archive it. But I need it to run like a schedules, but everytime the schedules start the batch files. I allway open up the command prompt window. Is anyway to hide that window? Like runing in background I thing.

You'll want to make sure it the task has these two items checked.
Also you'll need either an account that is a local admin or has the 'Log on as a batch job'
with in secpol.msc > 'Local Policies' > 'User Rights Assignment'
