I'm new to scheduling tasks. I'm using Windows XP, and I have a batch file I want to execute every couple minutes. I've tried out the batch file, and it works, but I can't seem to get it to schedule.

I've tried scheduling it to run as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. When I try to run it, I get the following:
"The scheduled task did not run because an incorrect password or user name was entered"

I read that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM doesn't require a password.

(While I want it to run as the system, the default user account doesn't seem to work either.)

I got it to work by through setting up a hidden user account and allowing blank passwords.
