scheduled tasks or task scheduler

[Terry]

I have tried and tried to schedule a task with the scheduled task tool, all
to no avail. i have searched the web, but can't find the answer.
i have made sure that i have correctly set all the settings in the scheduler
but it doesn't work
is there something that should be checked in msconfig startup?
thanks, Terry

Hi Terry,

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)
