This came to me as a surprise but yes Windows Vista allows you to create hidden task. This options is provides at the time of creating the task and can be seen either by the owner of the task creator or the Administrator of the computer

This tutorial is in reference with 30 Days Windows Vista Tutorials and Guide

Windows Vista 30 day guide

Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer management > System Tools > Task Scheduler.

As soon as you hit new look for a check box which says Hidden. Just create the task and keep it checked and you will be able to create the tasks which are not visible to others. before thins in XP and Vista the task was visible but it was protected by user account.
