I've scheduled a couple of tasks (disk clean up is one) on my new computer
and they are not running. Is there a solution to this?

I put in a password and it worked. Although, the small Disk Cleanup window
comes on but it prompts me to click OK to complete the task. I would like
the Disk Cleanup and other tasks I choose later, to run without any
prompting. Is there something else I need to do to accomplish this?
