Scheduled task password

[Brian Scholfield]

Hi all,

I was working on a clients computer and encountered a new (to me) problem.
Tasks are scheduled at startup and at a specific time once a week. The
problem is that within the last few weeks the task scheduler has been
presenting an error message "Some tasks did not execute at their scheduled
times because the Task Scheduler service was not running." When I check the
scheduled tasks the status says that the task did not run because a password
was not entered. This is a home computer used by only one person and has no
password on it. I removed a trojan horse and a few adware programs and
suspect that the trojan caused this problem. Any ideas on how to remove the
need for a password on the scheduled tasks without having to create a user
password to log on to the computer?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

You may be able to do a password per task, but I think the user needs one to
make it work.
I haven't had a non-password machine in a LONG time!

I have this problem when using SyncBackSE to backup data. The solution is to
put a password on the system. Then use the command - control userpasswords2
- in the Run dialog - and uncheck the box that requires users to enter a
password to use the system.
