My understanding is that it won't open a window if it is run from an
account other than the one that is currently logged in. So if you
create a "dummy" account with all the right permissions and run the
task using those credentials, it should suppress the window.

Haven't actually tried this, but I looked it up once before when I had
the same question. (Since I usually wasn't on the machine when the
task ran, and feeling lazy, I decided to just live with it.)
