system restore without password

[brucegooglegroups]

How do I get task scheduler to do a daily system restore without a
password?
In the users control panel, I enabled create password for the
administrator using blanks.

It still doesn't work.
suggestions?

System Restore automatically creates a restore point every 24 hours if the
computer is on or 24 hours have passed since the last restore point was
created

Hi Bruce,

One way would be to use Autologon in Tweakui.

Install and launch Tweakui. Then go to Logon - Autologon. Select Logon
Automatically at start up. Enter the user name and password.

Microsoft PowerToys - Tweakui for WinXP: Ver. 2.10 requires WinXP SP1
and later

TweakUI can be accessed from Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Bruce,

There is a hack that allows Task Scheduler to work with blank password, but
there are some serious implications. Therefore, set a password for the user
account and configure the task. If you want. you may set auto-logon using
Bert's instructions.

BTW, here is a script that creates a Restore point automatically upon the
*first* startup of the day. This should be a handy script, as the automatic
checkpoints are not consistent.

How to automatically create a System Restore point upon the first boot up of
the day?:
