Added SyncJob batch file as a task (Start a Program), but windows returns
error - %1 not a valid Win32 application. Any ideas?

With Windows Vista upwards it's not sufficient anymore to specify the
*.ffs_batch file only. The command must start with an .exe:

C:\Programs\FreeFileSync.exe C:\Sync.ffs_batch

Thanks, that did the trick. Guess you can't having white spaces either in the
path.

Whitespace needs to be in quotes like:
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Sync Job.ffs_batch"
