Default Scheduler can run but fails to accomplish task

Hi,

OS = XP Home Edition
Scheduled Task: run at startup
Content of Tast: {utility_xyz loads/connects a local web page}

Outcome: scheduled task runs (by looking at its status), however, log
indicates that connection failed.

Comment A: running the above Content of Task manually works just fine.
Comment B: the scheduled task is provided with user login and its
password.

What went wrong?

TIA.

Just thought of something, if this schedule task is run prior to the
startup of a web server then of course we would get this connection
refused error, so, how could we schedule a task to run as the last
one during the boot process for the current environment?

What went wrong?

TIA.

Try running it at logon then.
