I'd like to schedule a task on windows (XP, Vista or 7). Since I do it from my VB.Net code, I have to run it as SYSTEM. Yet, I'd like the window dialog to display anyway (that is, I'd like windows not to hide the program window). Is there a way I can do that?

Otherwise, is there a way to set up a scheduled task from the command line for the current user without having to enter a password? How does one manage if he doesn't have a password?

Thanks a lot!

CFP.

I could never figure this out, so I hacked together a task scheduler in python that works just spiffing, even if I do say so myself. You could do something similar in vb.net? (Additionally, this way you can have fancy features WinTaskScheduler doesn't have) – Phoshi Feb 21 '10 at 17:27
I sure could, but I was trying to keep my code as light as possible :s Thanks! – CFP Feb 21 '10 at 17:31
Do you know however how to set up a task for the current user, if he's got no password? – CFP Feb 21 '10 at 17:32
