Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / May 2006Running scheduled tasks
Do I need to be logged in as the Administrator to run scheduled tasks? I am the only user of my home pc. Hence I am the Administrator and when I switch on the pc I am automatically logged on as Administrator. With installed programs such as Windows or Norton Anti-Virus, do I have to manually add them to a scheduled task list or are they automatically added as Live Updates? I have been having problems in that neither Windows or Norton Anti-Virus seem to be automatically updating. In my scheduled tasks I have added Windows and LiveUpdate (Norton). Ideally I would just like them to run every time I am logged onto the Internet – I typically only log on to the Internet for about 15 minutes at a time (to send/ receive emails). The Task Scheduler asks for “start time” (I put 06:45 as I’m often online at that time) every day. They have “never” run. What I am trying to find out is how to get such programs to automatically go and look for updates every time I go online. Any ideas please? > Do I need to be logged in as the Administrator to run scheduled tasks? I am > the only user of my home pc.
