Scheduled Task does not start
Hi,
I've been trying to schedule a task but when the defined time approaches, the function (shutdown.exe) does not execute. I have tried to run it manually, by right clicking the task and pressing 'run' and the function works. I have entered a password for my user name as requested by the schedule task dialog box. Thanks in advance, jon |

Scheduled Task does not start
Thanks for your fast response. I have performed that
knowledge item. I entered a user name password exited, rebooted and then tried entering a new scheduled item. Still no go. -----Original Message----- Scheduled Tasks Cannot Run with a Blank Password http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;310715 Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm and scroll down to: "Scheduled Tasks - Applying/Running tasks without a password" [Courtesy of Kelly Theriot, MS-MVP] HOW TO: Troubleshoot Scheduled Tasks in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;308558 HOW TO: Schedule Tasks in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;308569 -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!
