    win XP task scheduler

    im the only user on my computer and i don't need a password, so why is it so difficult to set up a task????

    all i want is a program that will run in the middle of the night and change my desktop wallpaper each day. When i had my program to the task scheduler and try to run it, it tells me my password is not right (apparently i have to set a password if i want to run tasks). i even made a seperate username that had a password so i could run the task, but then i have to go through that useless log on screen each time i boot up and also the program is run as the other user, so it change's their wallpaper, not mine!!

    this is so freakin annoying, anybody know what to do (besides having my program always running in the background and checking what time it is)??

    On XP the main account is set up as a normal account IIRC, try making a new one with teh Users control panel proggie.

    i have deleted the admin account, however i created my account with administrator access rights

    the main problem here is how can i schedule a task when my username does not have a password, and i do not want it to have a password
