My ancient but trusty Dell notebook needs tasks scheduled. Specifically I want to defrag and diskclean regularly while I sleep. I am being asked for my password - and I have no idea what it may be. This XP Home system was installed by the shop when I upgraded HD, RAM, etc. last year. Under Task Scheduler I am shown the "User" name/id and it isn't something I've put in. So, how can I find the "password" and how can I change it to something I'll remember? And can I add or change the "User" name? Thank you. mc

WOW!!! That was so fast, I had to duck! I've done as you said, and scheduled one for tomorrow a.m. at 4:00. Now, if my typing is accurate, it should work. Many, many thanks. MC

Trying to schedule a Defrag on Windows XP Home, daughter-in-law's older Dell. I've enabled the Task Scheduler to "wake up comuter to run", set time, etc. How do I get Defrag to run without manually selecting the button "defragment"? [I want to be sleeping...] Thank you! MC
