As following How To Schedule Tasks in Windows XP

I have scheduled that firefox and task manager are to run on startup, and up until now it works, but lately they haven't been running. I checked the scheduled tasks utility and they are still there, unchanged, so I don't know what would have happen to make it stop working?

Hi!

Try the following to narrow down the reason why they are not starting:
- in Scheduled Tasks, from the menu, choose "Advanced" -> "View Log" which brings up the Task Scheduler logfile which shows additional information about what happened when the task ran (such as the exit code; even if the task ran, the exit code may be anything but "0" which would mean the application has started, but encountered an error)

- check if the task has an end date set; to do so, open the task, go to the "Schdule"-Tab, click on the "Advanced..." button and look at the "End Date"-field

- as already mentioned, look at the "Last Result" column in Schduled Tasks; also, look at the "Status" culumn, maybe the task(s) is/are already running (for whatever reason) and cannot be started again

Also, the Task Scheduler service might be paused; you can find an entry in the "Advanced"-menu that says "Continue Task Scheduler" if it is paused at the moment (otherwise it says "Pause Task Scheduler").

If nothing of all this applies, security of the "Tasks"-folder under \Windows might have changed; you should find the correct settings by searching the internet for "restoring default security of tasks folder in windows" (I don't have them handy right now, otherwise I would have posted them here, sorry).

If nothing seems to work, you should consider putting shortcuts to the applications in the Startup folder of the start menu rather than using scheduled tasks to run applications when logging on (assuming that you scheduled the task to run "At Logon" rather than "On System Startup").
