re: Scheduled Tasks Sunday, March 19, 2006 at 11:15 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) Joe's List / System cleanup When run as a scheduled task, the environment is not the same as it is when you are logged on and run it from a command prompt. You need to speficy the fully qualified path to xxcopy. For instance, if xxcopy is installed in c:\programs\xxcopy then you would use: c:\programs\xxcopy\xxcopy g: i:\hdrive /backup /bn May also be a problem with parameter passing so the safest way to accomplish this is to create a batch (.bat) file and run the command from there. Create xback.bat in the same directory that xxcopy.exe is in. Put one line in it: xxcopy g: i:\hdrive /backup /bn (you don't need the path info now) Now in your scheduled task call the batch file: c:\programs\xxcopy\xback.bat That should work.
