How set up a Scheduled Task?
I've tried to set up a scheduled task (Norton Live Update) - but can't get
it to run. So I set up Microsoft Word to run (thinking it would be easy) - but it doesn't run either. However, Norton One Button Checkup runs (it is set up by Norton when you install Norton System Works). Can someone help me please? Bobby

How set up a Scheduled Task?
Since the PC is a notebook and I'm the only user, I don't use a password.
Also, Norton One Button Update runs with a schedule without a password. I don't understand why I need one. Please explain. Thanks...... Bobby "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ...

How set up a Scheduled Task?
You don't have to have a password. I think the program has to be a stand
alone app in order to run? I'm not sure the only thing I use the scheduler for is auto shut down in the am and pm  John "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ...

How set up a Scheduled Task?
Then they know of a work around that I don't. The only way to run Scheduled
Tasks without a password requires allowing blank passwords to be used for other than a console logon, which opens up a variety of security holes that could be exploited to hack into your system. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
