Task Scheduler question

[Willy]

I'm getting the following error message while attempting to modify a Task:
This is error message:
----------------------------------------------------
Task Scheduler

An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information.
The specific error is: 0X80070005:
Access is denied, you do not have permission to perform the requested
operation.

OK

This happens if the user doesn't set a password to the
account. Task scheduler is only open to passworded
authenticated accounts.

Open the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and click on "Change an
account". Add a password to your account. Make it something you will
remember. Then you can set your computer to automatically go to your
Desktop for convenience:
