Windows needs user password in order to use run Task Scheduler and password is again needed to login.

How can I solve this?
Sonshi,

You're welcome. Unfortunately, it only restarts the computer. By default, you are taken to the log in screen whenever you restart the computer before Windows will start. The only way around this is if you set Windows 7 to log on automatically to a user account of your choice at startup. This of course would be a problem if you have multiple users on the computer. If not, then it may be an option for you.

Hello Ali Khan,

Click on the Task Scheduler Library folder in the left pane to see if you see the task's name listed in the middle pane.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks shawn i got that working ,
But during shutdown the computer went to the log on screen and was asking for password there.Is there any way i can disable that option ? I have chosen a option to shutdown when the pc is idle for more then an hour.
Because at night sometimes i leave my laptop switch on and i want it to shut down automatically and not ask for the password .

Sounds like a mistake may have been made while creating the task. Did you use your administrator account and password while creating the task? You might delete the task and start over to see how it goes this round.
