Work Around to Create Scheduled Tasks When Administrator Has No Password

[fcastro]

Hi all,

I am running XP x64 on my machine and would like to know if there is a way to setup a Scheduled Task on here even though I have no admin password setup on my machine.

Currently when I try to setup a Scheduled Task I get "0x80070005 Access is denied." error.

As long as network resources aren't involved you can use at.exe. From a
command prompt;

at /?

for syntax.

Dave,

thanks for the reply. I am a little loss as to your explanation though. The application I wan to run is on the local drive. I have tried putting a shortcut in the "startup" folder but that didn't work so I thought about creating a task.

And the way to do that is to use the at command.
