Marginally complicated task scheduling

[(Shovel)]

Put simply:

I have a Word document that I want printed out once a week, with no modifications. So, to stop me forgetting and being lazy I have Windows task scheduler open it for me automatically. Now, although this is OK, I'd really prefer that it just background printed it and went away again so that it waits for me in the out tray whenever I come back to the machine.

I looked up the command for "Print" in the File Types box but it's advanced and uses DDE to execute the print. (rather than suffixing "-print" say, like in days gone by).

Anyone got a tip on how to do this?

The only "botch" solution I can suggest is :

1. rename the file to, say, .prt extension
2. copy or create a new file type association with .prt from .doc and put the print function as the default

Sounds pretty good.

Thanks Xane.
