Re: Task Scheduler not working automatically

John, read this...

How to Automate the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315246

If all you do is schedule cleanmgr.exe, Disk Cleanup will open just waiting for user input. If you set it up to run with cleanmgr /sagerun:##, it will actually run and clean whatever presets that you have setup with cleanmgr /sageset:##.

Here are another couple of articles that may be of some help...

Clear the Temporary Internet Files using the Windows XP Disk Cleanup utility

Read through all three articles.

Hi:

No, I've never used the command you mentioned. All I've ever done was
follow the automated wizard to schedule tasks. Where do I put the
command you mentioned?

Sincerely,

Hello:

I recently installed NIS 2007 as a free upgrade. Prior to installing,
my task scheduler worked fine. For example, with disk clean up, at
10:00 pm every evening disk clean up would start up & delete files
with no intervention from me. Now, at 10:00, disk clean up shows up in
my task bar. I have to click on it. It appears & brings up a list of
items & prompts me to click OK to delete. I never had to do this
before. I have reset the schedule time, went into services to see if
task scheduler was set to automatic & tested task scheduler by choosing
the calculator.

I even contacted Dell & a tech remotely checked my settings & couldn't
find anything wrong.

Please help.

Sincerely,

John
