You might be confusing the parser with obscure quote placement.
cmd "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" /r /nosecurity "D:\QlikView\Book-Bill\Book-Bill.qvw"

I would try this:
cmd "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe /r /nosecurity D:\QlikView\Book-Bill\Book-Bill.qvw"

and, with "at", I found that absolute paths are very critical, at least with win-XP. No implied or relative paths will work.

Hi Nbrane,
thanks for your quick reply.
if i take off double quotes, CMD is not recognising /nosecurity command.

The /nosecurity will override the Macro security in QV file(Qlikview).

That would require DOS, which has never been present in the Windows server line.
