It depends on the flavour of Windows you are using. You may be able to
execute the scheduled task as a different user and it won't pop up in
your session, you could even give it its own dedicated username.

Failing that, there may be something on the shortcut properties that
can help.

If all else fails, most connection components I have seen have the
ability to execute a script through one of its classes, so you may be
able to write your own application that runs without a window, or even
as a simple service independent of the task scheduler.
