Well, it seems a couple of you caught me, almost. In my last article (on backing up) I referred to scheduling the backup which requires schedules tasks and a password. I just noted “If you don’t have one, look for my article on creating one and how to automatically logon without entering it every time.”
Well, I have not written a complete article on the subject. The needed information is actually in at least three different articles. One is on defragmenting and another on running disk clean and of course the Auto logon article. So I figure that I should write one article on just XP passwords.
You do need a Windows password to run the task scheduler. If you don’t have a password, you can easily create one.
