Re: running scripts on a schedule

You must have a username and password for the machine.  Or, see the 
following from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm

*Scheduled Tasks - Applying/Running tasks without a password*

For Pro:  Go to Start/Administrative Tools/'Local Security 
Policy/Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon 
only. This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: (Keith Miller) Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Value name: limitblankpassworduse, Type: REG_DWORD, Data: 0 (disabled) 1 
(enabled)

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 67)
