Running Task Scheduler

[Darryl]

Having trouble getting programs to start through task
scheduler... I've already made a password for the User,
but I'm getting this message:

An error has occured while attempting to set task account
information. The specific error is 0x8007007a: The data
area passed to a system call is too small.

My computer name/user name is accurate, and I have logged
out and logged back in after setting a password.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Darryl

Hi Darryl,

See if this helps:

Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:

For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security
Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 68)
