Windows 10: Switch Window Focus using a Batch File/CMD

I have a Windows application that when launched with the Task Scheduler on start up does not have focus (i.e. I cannot execute keyboard commands in the application until I click the application into focus). Focus is on the Desktop.
The application is started through Task Scheduler as it required Highest Privileges to launch (bypassing UAC prompt).

There only seems to be third party applications available which support automatic switch to the application *i.e. switch focus.

Is there a was I can switch the focus to the application? - like a batch file?

:)

You can't just rename a batch file to .exe *Big Grin it wont ever work! =D and that "bench" is built into vista *Smile And you cant input text into another cmd window.. But if you want to open calc.exe from a batch file just type calc.exe *Smile

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
