Re: Script launched via AT scheduler won't return from RegRead

Woops! I was so focused on the possibility of the lack of the /INTERACTIVE
switch (bitten me several time) that I did not notice what it probably the
real problem. Your script is reading the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key. Since you
are running this script using the AT command, it is running under the SYSTEM
account & therefore reading the HKCU for the SYSTEM account, not your
currently logged on user. You are receiving a runtime error because the key
does not exist. Can you move your "HKCU\Software\AlarmClock\Status" key to
"HKLM\Software\AlarmClock\Status"?
