Run .cmd file from Task Scheduler

Hi, 

I'm trying to run a .cmd file from Task Scheduler so that I can schedule it daily. The .cmd file runs fine when I run it manually, and uses cURL to relate to a website and download a file. 

I've tried many options, obviously to start a program "cmd.exe" or "cmd" and parameters/start in C:\path\to\file and many variations to this. Also, I've tried C:\path\to\file directly in the "start a program" box. The errors that i'm getting range from 0x1 to 0xc000013a. Sometimes a shell opens up, but the file is not executed since no download is resulting (like when performed manually). 

If you could give me a hint which are the steps (what to enter where) to schedule a .cmd file that would be great, i'm rather newbie to this...?

Users' autorisations should not be an issue as i'm the only one operating the computer with admin rights. also i've set all the autorisations to "permitted' in the properties of the .cmd file. 

Thanks and regards

Valentino
