How to use the System account to run Scheduled Task

[Steve]

I want to set a task in Task Scheduler but I do not want to us the account
that I am logged in with. How do I set the task up to us the system account?
What is the system account name? Is there a password?

Use the console command at.exe. All its jobs run under the System account.

Can it not be done with the Task Scheduler in the Control Panel?

Not as far as I know. Note that scheduling a job with at.exe is actually
faster than using the Control Panel GUI:

at.exe 15:35 /every:m,t,w,th,f "c:\tools\My Job.exe"

That's all!
