Scheduled Tasks Will not work under different user

D

I have setup a scheduled task that will run delprof.exe every day. The
problem I am having is that it is setup under the admin account that we
use for the network. I am trying to get the task to be able to run
under a different user that will actually be using the computer or when
they are logged off. is there anyway to set it up so that no matter
who is logged onto the computer or if nobody is logged on that the
scheduled task will still run?

Tasks created under an account other than the logon account
***do*** run when scheduled unless you tick the box that
requires someone to be logged on. Check the Task Scheduler
logs under the Advanced pull-down menu.
