Scheduled tasks

[Sherri]

I am listed as an administrator on my Windows XP Account
and when I try to set up a scheduled task the following
message comes up...The scheduled task did not run because
an incorrect password or user name was entered...It is my
computer. I own it and it won't let me set up the tasks.
Any ideas? I've tried several different passwords so I
am not sure if I just can't remember the right one or if
it is another problem. When I bring it up in safe mode
it lists Administrator, Sherri, Steven, and Guest.

Hi Sherri,

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)
