A bit slower, but what the heck, it's virtualized and running side by side! The Last Result column displays a completion code. You can obtain a full explanation of all Windows completion codes from MSDN, but the common codes for scheduled tasks are:.

Also check the program to see if it requires some command-line parameters that are missing. Scheduled tasks maintains a log file Schedlgu. The log file size is 32 kilobytes KB , and when the file reaches its maximum size, it automatically starts to record new information at the beginning of the log file and writes over the old log file information.
The Task Scheduler service must be running and properly configured to run tasks. If you had stopped scheduled tasks manually from the Scheduled Tasks window, the service stops and does not initialize the next time you start the computer.
If the service is not configured to log on as the local system account, it may not start. To check the settings for the service:. On the General tab, make sure that the startup type is set to automatic, and that the service status is Started.
If the service is not running, click Start. On the Log On tab, make sure that the local system account is selected, and that the Allow service to interact with desktop check box has a check mark. Or, how would I use task scheduler to automatically launch a web page? That way I could automatically start internet radio.
