Hi John,

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)

Fix did not work. I also viewed the registry and the
limit bland password is in fact disabled. When I try to
run it cannot start and the log reflect attempt to
retrieve account information failed.
