Help with Task Scheduler

[Charlie]

When I set up a task to run under Windows XP Professional I get the
following message: The new task has been created but may not run because the
account information could not be set. 0x80070057 - the parameter is
incorrect.

I entered my password when scheduling the task. What is missing?????

Also I am logged in as administrator and part of a workgroup.

Hi Charlie,

See if this helps:

Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:

For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security
Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 68)
