Hello,

I am using XP Home SP2 w/all updates.

I am trying to run a task but I get result 0x40010004 (incorrect password or username). I have changed nothing on my system except to remove the password for the only user I have on the system. How do I fix this problem so the task will run.

I have tried to modify the password for the task so it will be blank, but when I click OK I get the following error:

"An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied
You do not have permission to perform the requested operation"

Can anyone help with this?

Yep, check the box "run only if logged on"
 
Thanks for the tip! It is much easier and right in line with what I wanted. I checked on old strings about this subject and they said one had to use a password or do a registry hack or something to complex for what I wanted.

Thanks again!
