Even though Windows 7 recommends that most users on systems be standard users instead of administrators, most out of the box Dell and HP systems set the owner up as an administrator, so no password is required. I think it's ridiculous however, that Windows makes it a 10 step process to schedule these tasks. I'm sure Microsoft is aware that many people like to schedule these maintenance functions to happen automatically. So why bury the process so deeply in the operating system, and force you to browse to the programs you want to schedule? They certainly have built in wizards for everything else. This is not user friendly.

Ok, sounds straightforward and fine except that most folks, I suspect, set up their pcs to boot up automatically without password entry and probably don't have the foggiest idea of what their password might be (if any) and how to handle this in setting up the task. Can someone address this issue and how might this differ dependent on the operating system in use?The Christian faith is not a way to explain, enjoy or endure this world, but to overcome
