Scheduled Tasks

[QQQQQQQQQQ]

I am running Windows XP Home and can not get any
scheduled tasks that I create to work unless I supply a
user password. If I require a user password to log in to
windows, the task with the correct password will work
great. Unfortunately I automatically log in and do not
want to have type a password in every time i reboot. By
leaving the password box blank in the scheduled tasks
area, it will not run, giving me an error that my
password that I typed in was wrong.
