Hey
I have administrator privilages on my system ( its a home computer ), and I
need to set up to shutdown at the for example 3pm. In planned tasks I set a
program "shutdown -s" ( with a full path ). I tried to run it from my
account, from "SYSTEM" account , from admin account... and nothing... happens
( I always put there a password ). In a logfile there is something like it
couldn't login when I give him a SYSTEM account, but when I check a help it
says to system account there is no need to give a password... Please tell me
how to make it work :)
