Question
Hi Lenny
I have Win XP and cannot get a scheduled task to run despite programming it in. When I try to schedule a task it does have a section where it recommends a password. However, I do not know what to add if anything. I went to the help section and it states: “To view the security settings for a scheduled task, right-click the task, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.” However, when I go to the scheduled task in start/settings/ control panel, I do not see the Security tab when I right click on the task. How do I get the scheduler to work?
Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
Answer Hi Richard,
The task scheduler information that recommends you clicking on a security tab is based on a Windows Server 2003 Operating System. For Windows XP, the instructions are in the link below;
