What do you mean 'locked'???

One solution may be to run the file under different credentials, such as the
system account.

Alternatvely, use a scripting language such as Autoit to create a process
which will run all the time, but only 'do its thing'at the set time. This is
the way we do workstation backups. If the script sleeps most of the time it
consumes very few resources.

Or, if the task is a backup one, create a readonly share, and have a server
'pull' the data from the share instead of 'pushing' it from the client.

The scheduled tasks log should be available at C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt
What events does it list at the time the tasks fails?
