Task Scheduler

[Guest xp user blues]

I am trying to schedule tasks. Specifically "disk clean up and defrag" to

perform weekly. I get the message, " The new task has been created, but may

not run because the account information could not be set. The specific error

is: 0x80070005. Access is denied. Try using the task page browse button to

locate the application. I tried one of the hot fixes and it didn't do

anything.

When you create the task, you also specify under what account it will

run plus you have to provide the password for that account. So under

what account did you assign the task? Did you enter the correct

password for that account?

 

And WHAT program are you describing by "disk clean up and defrag" rather

than actually provide its filename? The Disk Cleanup wizard

(cleanmgr.exe) that comes in Windows XP does not itself provide a

scheduling option. YOU have to add a new task to Task Scheduler after

first following the instructions in Microsoft's KB article 315246 on how

to define a config set that you then specify in the command line that

you specify for the scheduled task. But then maybe you are using some

3rd party cleanup tool but neglecting to identify it.
