What is the advantage of using scheduled tasks to launch IE for file downloads, and where are the cached files stored?

Using scheduled tasks like `schtasks` launches IE with SYSTEM privileges, making the browser window invisible on the user desktop and leaving no browsing history. The cached files are stored in `%windir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\`, which differs from standard user cache. This method is explained in the article's active mode stealth launch category.
