Every time I attempt to setup a task in task manager it asks me for a password.
Catch-22 to bypass the logon screen without having to select who logs on you
have to exist without a password [or that's how I understand control passwords2
option to work]
I'd rather not replace one annoyance with another annoyance. ie: Having to
select myself just to log on every time I reboot. I go for a walk or other
activity when rebooting. No reason I need to hold the machines hand while it
reconfigures booting.
Set it up just fine. But when it comes time to run it, 'you don't have access
to run this'
I also think something else is misconfigured now too. Windows L for fast switch
brings up Just me. Administrator doesn't seem to exist.
if I use the start menu and jump to user accounts only accounts showing is me
[computer admin] and guest [off]
I can login to admin [just need to use help to find out how again] at boot up.
But can't really do anything in that account. It won't even save mouse settings
from one minute to the next.
I don't really want to do a 2 week rollback or another OS reinstall. The
machines finally settled down and semi working the way I want it to. This task
manager thing is an annoyance. Not worthy of either a rollback or reinstall of
the OS.
I use Karen Kenworthy's countdown timer as a daily scheduler. But for some
reason the only task actually scheduled [dshield hourly reports] is coming up
with resetting itself back to like I just installed the thing, telling me I
don't have access, or no response at all. And only time I notice it is when I
DON'T get email from dshield every hour to ack my reports.
When was the last time you noticed something automatic was wrong because it
wasn't happening ?
It runs without a hitch and no notice other than the hourly email reports to
ack receipts.
And sometimes it'll throw up the access errors and still work.
Baffled..
