Scheduled Tasks - Auto Start (getting scheduled tasks to run when no one is
logged on).
If you follow these steps, the shedlgu.txt file will be replaced without any information other than system start-up information upon the first boot.
Go to Start/Run/Msconfig. Click Selective Startup and uncheck Load System Services, click ok. Reboot.
Upon reboot, click OK to the first Window that indicates that you have selected "Selective Startup". When the System Configuration Utility reappears, Check the Normal Startup Box.
Then go to Start/Search and type in: schedlgu.txt. When it appears, right click on the file and delete it. Reboot.
You will now have a new Task Scheduler Log File. It can be checked by going to Start/Search and typing in: schedlgu.txt. Appearing will be your new Task Scheduler Log.
Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:
For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only. This is enabled by default, disable it.
For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 68)
