I keep getting the error message: task could not run because of wrong
username or pass word.
I do supply my pass word and user name, how do I know, what user name to
use?
 
Hi

You can find what user name is being used by clicking on the Start button and then reading the name against 'Log Off'. If you are supplying that user name for Scheduled Tasks, then the password you are inputting is not correct.

Thanks, for taking the time.
But I am still totally confused.
I am using user name listed against log off and then I type in my pass word.
Still status says: incorrect user name or pass word.
I noticed, when checking scheduled task/settings, my user name is changed
like "user name/laptop"
There should be a simpler way of scheduling a simple task like defrag as it
was with Win98.

Hi

You will need to use the user name - as you are logged as - plus the correct password. More than that, I can't help you.
