- How do you know they don't run?
- Have you tried adding some simple diagnostics to
the task? Something like:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of task > c:\test.log
echo User name=%UserName% >> c:\test.log
echo Path=%path% >> c:\test.log
c:\Tools\YourProgram.exe 1>>c:\test.log 2>c:\test.err
echo %date% %time% End of task >> c:\test.log

Now examine the two log files. Chances are that you'll
see what's wrong.
 
Scheduled Tasks must be run from a user account that has a password. There is a work around, but its also a large security vulnerability.
