Try using a limited/admin account with non-blank password.

I can execute this through the command line with the appended parameter.  It 
does do a Windows prompt to run the URL (which is local 127.0.0.1).  At the 
command line, the browser opens and goes to the page then the prompt 
appears.  I already have my user name/pass entered and the save button is 
checked.  I just click ok and am logged in.
Now, on the Windows prompt, my user name is only "guest".  In the schedule 
task pane, it is computername\guest.  I have entered this into the Windows 
prompt with no problems.  URL executes fine.  Still, the task doesn't run.
How do I debug this?
Thanks,
Brett
