Fixing Windows Calendar Scheduled Task After Computer Name Change
Dec 10, 2009
If you change the name of your computer (under Control PanelSystem and MaintenanceSystem), then the scheduled task that Windows Calendar has will NOT be updated with the new name of the computer. The result is that this scheduled task does not run properly when it is supposed to, and when you open up the Task Scheduler, you get an error popping up in Task Scheduler:
"An error has ocurred for the task Reminders - {User Name}. Error message: The specified account name is not valid."
Where {User Name} is your user name.
Solution: ...

I have a bat file that runs without errors on the command line. Uses robocopy to back up document drectory. The scheduler history states it started, action completed with an error code 16 (don't know what this means) and task successfully completed? But I do not think it is actually executing the bat file.

Even though I have the Google Update Service disabled in services it still shows in Task Manager's Processes tab and appears to be running.
I don't see the file in any startup place in Vista Basic or in the Startup folder in my Start Menu.
I can't find it in Scheduled Tasks.
Is there anywhere else I might look to disable this annoying service?

I am creating simple on a schedule (one time only) tasks which run fine if the time trigger is reached whilst the computer is on and I'm logged in, but fail to run if the computer is shutdown or asleep when the trigger time is reached, even with "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed" checked. I am aware that missed scheduled tasks aren't ran immediately on start-up (10 min delay?) but they never run. There are no events regarding the tasks in event log and the last run status is "Never" so they just don't seem to be picked up as missed tasks.
I have unchecked all the idle/power options so the task should run whatever. I have tried checking the "Run with highest privileges" box and checking "Run when user is logged on" or "Run whether user is logged on or not" The tasks will run manually fine if I select run from "actions". At the moment I'm just trying to get a one-time scheduled task to display a message so I'm not trying anything fancy. Setting the task to run at logon or startup works fine. The system time/date is set Ok. A Google search revealed one guy with a similar problem but no solution. This is Vista HP sp2 with all important updates applied - running on an acer aspire laptop. A friends Samsung with the same Vista setup also shows this behaviour.

What is the difference between a 'Manual: Restore Point' and a 'System: Scheduled Checkpoint' if any? Because I just had to tinker with the task in Task Scheduler to make it more to my liking I no longer get scheduled checkpoints after midnight if the computer is on--I don't get any scheduled checkpoint. Before I get into more detail of what I recall changing--I know I deleted the default multiple task to also create a scheduled checkpoint at boot or logon--I want to test whether anyone will tackle this problem with me or if it has been handled so many times over the years that the post will just be ignored?

I drag program icons to quick launch taskbar and they are the usual icon only smaller. the big blue W for word though turns into some nondescript thing. anyway to get the big blue W? also I dragged some folders like documents, etc and they all look the same (little tiny folders). anyway to visually differentiate them> I know one can mouse over and see what they are, but perhaps there is a way to use text?sure is nice to have a completely icon free desktop now.

I don't see a Calendar group. I have had several occasions when Windows Calendar did not pop up with appointments until a day or two had gone by and it then informs me that the appointment or whatever is x days overdue. Not very helpful obviously. My computer was on and logged in at least once on the days of the appointment. Another problem. Because of the afore-mentioned problem I put Windows Calendar in my Startup folder so I would be forced to see the calendar when I first log in. I have had a couple of crashes now apparently related to this. Once the calendar wouldn't close and the second time the computer froze after displaying the calendar; I was forced to do an unstructured shutdown; and this in turn generated raid 1 disk problems that took hours to be resolved.

I'm using Vista and have Windows Mail and Calendar. I bought my laptop at Office Depot. In the calendar view, on the left, the top box shows the current month, the box under it has: Calendars, then under that heading; Office Depot Calendar, and the box is checked. If I uncheck it and then try to enter an appointment in the calendar, a message comes up; You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled. Does this mean there are other calendars, and if so, how do I access or 'enable' them? I don't really care
for this 'Office Depot' calendar/

Haven't gotten any response so I'll try again. A serious problem I am having with Vista calendar is that it is frequently not alerting me to appointments/events. Sometimes days will go by and abruptly I'm presented with a list of past due items. There may be a "good" reason for this happening but I can't imagine what it is as I log into the account associated with the calendar at least once a day. I have been running with the option "Reminders should show when Windows Calendar is not running" set. Also, is there any way to truly share a calendar between users on the same machine? I've used the sharing options but always end up with copies of the calendar and they don't update themselves when another user makes a change.

I have read all of the search-engine hits I can find, and they all seem to point to the fact that you can't run scheduled tasks in Vista Home Premium using a regular username even when you supply the correct password. Vista forgets the password and gives the error "2147943726 (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password)" whenever it tries to run a scheduled task (scheduled at the same time every day) after the computer is rebooted.
For my task -- a backup program to a network disk -- I can't use the "Do not store password. The task will only have access to local computer resources" checkbox, since the task needs access to the network disk. And the "run with highest privileges" checkbox doesn't have any effect. I still get the "Logon failure" message when the task tries to run after I reboot. None of the discussions I have found by searching the 'net actually have a solution.

In Unix there are services called cron jobs which basically are nothing more than processes scheduled to run routinely every so often. I think these are called
scheduled tasks. So how do I set up a scheduled task under Windows Vista Home Premium so that for instance every day around 11:30 PM my laptop powers off whenever I have left it switched on (so that it does not wake up anybody in the middle of the night which has been happening to me).

Vista evidently has serious USB issues on many computers (including my own). What concerns me most is that these problems have plagued Vista since launch and Microsoft still have not fixed them. Googling around to try to find solutions to my own problems, I come across people with BRAND NEW computers who are struggling with failing USB ports. So these problems are persisting nearly a year since Vista public release, and many years since the beta release. I am therefore left wondering if Microsoft have completely no idea what the problem is and are completely unable to resolve the problem?

I have an Dell XPS 420 which is overclocked (Q6700, 3,33 GHz) and lately vista has crashed all the times and I think it might be because of a corrupted file in windows. I tried to do a sfc /scannow however when it tries to repair the error, it gave me this message:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix
some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windirLogsCBSCBS.log. For
example
C:WindowsLogsCBSCBS.log
I have also attached my reliability monitor graph and the scores aren't pretty good.

I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new computer, and Windows 2000/pro on a much older (8 years?) computer. I have no difficulty transferring files from one to the other using flash memory units. Both systems are running fine. I was told, by a not always reliable person, that I can simply plug either a regular ethernet cable, or a crossover ethernet cable, into each computer and each will immediately recognize the other, and each will show up on the other's Window Explorer windows. Then, I'm told, I could drag and drop files from one computer to the other with a click of a mouse on either computer.
So, I tried it. Purchased a new crossover ethernet cable, plugged it in, and no visible response. No sparks, no smoke - nothing. Directory trees did not change on either computer's screen. The person who told me this would work doesn't "have time to check into it right now."
1. Is it likely that I caused any damage to either computer? Both continue to work as well as they ever did, so I don't think so.
2. Is it possible to connect the two computers together, via such an ethernet cable, and have them behave as I had been told?
3. If the answer to question 2 is yes, what else must I do besides plug in the cable?

#1 - Links points to My Pictures Location
I unwittingly set my Links shortcut to point to the same folder as My Pictures and for some reason I cannot undo it. If I open my Links, instead of just showing my shortcut, it also shows the folders in My Pictures. Although not crucial to ops, it is rather annoying to see duplicates on my folders in My Pictures.
I found the tutorial on resetting Personal Folders useful but it did not have anything on fixing this type of "merge." The registry entry for Links is just "&Links" which tell me nothing much.
Using regedit, I have managed to fix my personal folder including My Pictures. Only this Links problem persists.
#2 - Wrong icon for C:UsersMy_Name
Second problem --
When I go to the C:Users folders, instead of seeing the folder with my log-on name, I see the folder called DOCUMENTS.
I checked the registry entry for Personal and it points to the correct folder in an E: drive.
