not require password upon bootup

Task Scheduler required me to enter a password so I could have a
schedule task run. I only have one account on this computer and I
think the guest account is disabled. Is there a way to bypass the
password prompt and have the user be logged into windows upon it
booting up.

Thanks,
Pete

google and download and install Microsofts TweakUI. It will allow you
to automate the logon.

Yes. Right click the start button and then click 'Run...'. On the box
presented type in "control userpasswords2". Highlight your account and then
clear the box that says "Users must enter password to log on" (or whatever
it does actually say). On hitting apply, you will be asked for your
password. On rebooting, it should boot straight to your desktop.

Why not simply set up another account (with admin rights) that has a
password, and use *that* for the scheduled task, if you don't want to enter
a password for your own account? If you're going to use anything to
autologin, you may as well not have a password anyway.
