Problem with scheduled task after reboot

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've created a simple script that opens IE and saves web page to a file.

This script runs as a scheduled task every several minutes.

It runs very good.

The problem is that if the computer reboots, then the script is not working unless I log in to the computer.

the rest of the "job" runs just fine...only the script is not updating the file.

Once I log in it runs OK.

The script is one a remote server and I do not control the reboot process.

Is there a way to make it work without the need to log in all the time?

Tnx for your help :graduated:

Well, I definitely know how to do things like that once the user is logged in. Placing the compiled script in the startup folder will run the script when a user logs in. However, to run your script without logging in? I'm not sure how Windows reacts to stuff like that. However, I did find this:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Launches a program automatically at system startup. This key is used when you always want to launch a program on a particular system.

Hope that helps,
