scheduled task won't run in Windows XP Home

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I'm trying to set up a bat file to run in Windows XP Home Scheduled Tasks.
However, when the time comes to run, it doesn't and displays the Next Run
Time. I checked the Security Log and saw the following error where <account>
is the account name. I left the password fields empty as there is no password
associated with the account and I am currently logged in with that account.
Am I doing something wrong?

Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
Logon account: <account>
Source Workstation: <computername>
Error Code: 0xC000006E

Thanks! It worked. I noticed the warning, but it says that SOME will not work
and I assumed that this was basic enough to not need a password. Didn't know
that ALL needed a password.

Thanks again.
