Scheduled Tasks not working

[Dean]

I tried to schedule a task and where it asks for a
password for the user account I left it blank. When it
didn't run, I had a look at it and it said
"The scheduled task did not run because no user account
password was entered."

There's only one user account which has no password on
this machine.. what's up with that?

Hi Dean,

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and download the fix [run scheduled tasks without password]

Task Scheduler Does Not Run Tasks When "Run As" User Account Has No Password:

Or, create a password for the user account. [If you still want the account to automatically login, type "Control Userpasswords2" in the RUN box and uncheck "Users must enter......." ]
