Hi Peter,

I still have problems with this because I do not have a
windows password so I didnt enter one when I started the
scheduled task, in other words when I installed windows I
didnt set a password for myself or anybody else, so
technically I would presume that there is no need to use
a password when you use the task schedular but no matter
what I do the task still will not run and there is no
security tab either, in help it suggest you right click
the task and then go to the security tab but there isnt
one. Please can someone help.

Regards
