Running a test with task scheduler while user is logged off

[Bogdan Zamfir]

Hi,

I want to run a task on WinXP PRO, set up in Task scheduler, while the user
who created the task is logged off.
How can I do this?

Regards,
Bogdan

The task schedule runs as a service. That means that it will be running even
if nobody is logged in. When you go through the wizard to set up a scheduled
task, you can specify which user to run the task as. When that time comes,
no matter what user is logged on (or even if none are) that task will be
started with the user credentials that you supplied. The thing to be careful
with here is relative paths - if you have an interactive user, and that path
is not available, then there will be some ambiguity.
