Hullo Ramesh
In answer to your questions:
When I run %systemroot% it brings up the C:\WINDOWS folder (showing all
objects in that folder).
Here is a copy of the most recent entry in the log file:
ÿþ" U s e r _ F e e d _ S y n c h r o n i z a t i o n - { 3 5 D 6 F B 0 7 -

There are 11 pages of similar entries in the file - plus heaps of entries
(for each of my Scheduled Tasks) similar to this:
" T a s k S c h e d u l e r S e r v i c e "
S t a r t e d a t 2 7 / 1 2 / 2 0 0 6 2 : 4 0 : 3 3 P M

Do these answers help?

Ian,
received an Access Denied error message!
It looks as if the %systemroot% variable does not resolve properly. What happens when you type "%systemroot%" (without quotes) in Start, Run?
Otherwise maybe you could suggest what I should be looking for?
Look for the error code and also the return codes for the task executed during the current day.
Example:
- - - - - -
"User_Feed_Synchronization-{67CA7D49-937F-48DA-A992-B2515466FCE8}.job" (msfeedssync.exe)
Finished 12/27/2006 9:57:32 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (1).

OK Ramesh... two things to report:
1st - when I tried to run %SystemRoot%\SchedLgU.Txt from the Run window I
received an Access Denied error message! However, by using an external text
editor I was able to open the file and make a copy. There's a lot of stuff
in it (most of which doesn't make a lot of sense to me I'm afraid) but I
could email it to you if you would like to see it. Otherwise maybe you could
suggest what I should be looking for?
2nd - the exact and complete path to Task Scheduler5.0 in my registry is:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1060284298-725345543-1003\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
I hope this all helps. As I've already said Ramesh, I really do appreciate
all the time you're devoting to my problem. Thanks a million.

You can launch the Task Scheduler log file by typing this in Start, Run:
%SystemRoot%\SchedLgU.Txt
yes, both registry entries were correct. No change needed.
I'd try fixing the .txt file association.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
appears under HKEY_USERS
Exactly under which branch / SID, Ian?

Thanks Ramesh... yes, both registry entries were correct. No change needed.
But during the regedit process I noticed something that escaped me
yesterday. The registry entry for Task Scheduler5.0 appears under HKEY_USERS
- not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as suggested in the Microsoft KB article (305612)
that Shenan Stanley asked me to review. Is this significant? And if so what
do you think I should do to correct the error?

:
Ian,
Is the log path set correctly in the registry? Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SchedulingAgent
Double-click "LogPath" value and set its data to:
%SystemRoot%\SchedLgU.Txt
