Can't Creat New Scheduled Tasks
Oct 13, 2005
I've tried in different accounts and even in the addmin account in safe mode and I always get the same error.I also get this error at home (this is my girlfriends computer) the error reads:New Task has been created, but may not run because the account info could not be sent.The specific is: 0x80041315 The task scheduler service is not running.What am I doing wrong? I've never had this problem before, is there some sort of option I need to select to get it to work?

Running a VB program from Sheduled Tasks, the VB program is supposed to bring up a form with information. The program works fine when started the "normal" way but when i start it from Sheduled Tasks it does start but it does not bring up the form. You can see the program running among the processes but thats all.

Is there NO ONE who knows how to fix this: I'd like to be able to just click on a scheduled task and have it run. However the default is set to show the properties of the task. (If I just click on the task in Control Panel, the Properties of the task show) How can I change the default from Properties to Run?

Tweak Description: Just like the title says this registry hack will add printers and folders, scheduled tasks, network connections, fonts, and administrative tools to my computer which makes it very easy to navigate through the system settings. Note: it is recommended to back up the registry before any registry hacks.

I started my computer up this morning only to find -gasp- that my hard drive is fried. =D Isn't that freakin' wonderful? So I put a new one in, got my good ol' win2k disk out, and went to install it. Okay, so I've reformatted my hard drive, ran set up, and then I get to the "Windows will reboot in 15 seconds" crap.
Windows 2000 installation starts all over! It shows that there is in fact the WINNT folder installed on the hard drive, but it won't seem to get to the next step of setup. I tried chaning my boot order, still nothing. I remember I had this problem before, but I forgot how I resolved it. If I change the boot order priority to Hard Drive first, I get stuck in limbo. Nothing happens... I don't remember how I fixed it the first tim

I need to wipe clean the hard disc on a desktop. It currently has XP-Home installed, which was an upgrade from ME. The ME files were erased from the desktop after installation of XP. After formatting I assume I will need an MS-DOS bootup disc to install ME; install ME and then upgrade to XP-Home. If my assumptions are correct how can I create a bootup disc for ME? I am hoping that someone has a simpler method than I have outlined.

I've been looking for a way to ensure that a specific task runs after my desktop resumes from hibernation. Initially, I'd hoped for something akin to the "Run at user logon" or "Run at startup" optionsavailable in the schedule tab of a scheduled task, but there is no setting for "Run at resume from standby/hibernation"
Restore a VPN connection after the computer's network capabilities are restored on resuming from hibernation. This is important because I have to occasionally wake thesystem from offsite using its Wake-On-LAN NIC. I've tried setting up a scheduled task to run at start-up and user logon which uses RASDIAL to dial the appropriate VPN connection, but this connection depends on the logged-in user's credentials, so it won't work at start-up. When set to have it run at user logon, it doesn't run when the computer comes out of hibernation.

I'm trying to schedule AdAware to run weekly in the middle of the night. I've set up a scheduled task which does exactly what it is supposed to do--to a point. Adaware pops right up at the appointed time, but requires a "run scan" click from me to proceed any further. I've configured AdAware for automated scans and had hoped the scheduler, combined with this setting would kick off a truly automatic scan while I sleep soundly.

New to XP this week. When I first started I had something called file and
folder tasks under My Computer. It still is under My Documents.
I think I pushed the wrong button somewhere. How to put file and folder
tasks back under My Computer?I was trying to copy data to a CD. In a section named:: To copy a file or folder" it tell you to go to My Computer.Under File and Folder Tasks you are to click on Copy this file or Copy this folder. When I still had File and Folder Tasks under My Computer it did not have anything about doing Copy. How do you add that to File and Folder Tasks if I get it back under My Computer.

Goto[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]create a dword value named "TaskbarGroupSize"double click the new value and enter the number of open windows before XP groups them together.I prefer 2, but you can go higher.Log off and log back in. You should be good to go. Happy tweaking. (The latter was added after first submission)

I'd like to run defrag as a scheduled task while I am asleep. Basic setup is easy. Found the command in Windows/System folder. But that just opens the defrag console. At that stage it is necessary to chose analyze or defrag. I want to set it up to automatically defrag. How do I do that?

This little tweak allows you to customize the grouping action on your taskbar. According to the default, if you have more than (ex.) 3 internet explorer windows open, XP will group them into a single button with a menu that lifts off the taskbar. You can change the number of windows that are open before XP groups them.goto[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]look for the dword "TaskbarGroupSize"If it isn't already there, right click on the right pain, and create a new dword value. Double click the value, and enter the number of windows you want xp to allow open before it groups them. I personally like 2, because I like any related window to be grouped automatically, but, you can set this high if you wish.

ASUS F5VL laptop running XP Pro
I used "my computer", tools to schedule a chkdsk. It asked if that should be done when the system next booted, and I then proceeded to reboot.
The chkdsk ran clean, and reported same just before Windows started. I'm now at the login screen and when I click on my user it does not open the login form. I can move the mouse pointer around but when I click the login form does not appear.Any ideas?

I recently used the XP backup utility and I found that it worked fine for an immediate backup to my external USB drive but when I attempt to schedule the backup, it fails to occur.I am performing a 'normal' backup to the USB Drive and I scheduled it daily using the wizard. It appears in the calendar and looks normal and consistent with my setup but nothing happens at the appointed time. I confirmed my PC date and time were correct (no AM/PM or date error).I see no indication that it is/has attempting to perform a backup.

I setup a full scan of my hard drive. Upon restart the checkdisk program starts and that is where my problem begins. It checks ok through steps 1,2,3,4 but freezes at 83% on step 5. PC is locked cannot do anything. Power off and on again, checkdisk starts again, try hitting any key to cancel but it does not recognize the keys and starts the scan over again and with same results. How can I cancel the scan and restart my windows os?

Well just recently my computer has been slowing to a crawl when I do (normally) simple tasks. Usually I can run a spyware scan on top of playing iTunes, working on a Word document and much more with no problems, but today I noticed that suddenly a scan by AVG alone is using nearly 70-80 percent of my processing power . Also Windows has been taking darn near forever to load. More than 2 minutes. I know this can't be normal. I've had this problem before but received almost no replies so please someone help. This is really ruining my computing experience. By the way I have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+. Any guesses as to what the problem might be?

Can someone tell me how to reboot a Win 2000 computer using a scheduled task? I have found posts that suggest using shutdown.exe in the System32 folder, but no such file exists on these computers. I have used shutdown.exe -r -t 00 successfully on our XP computers. There is no Windows folder, instead a WinNt folder.
