[QUOTE="MLH01, post: 475979, member: 89532"] OK. I've tried the same reboot script on both computers I have. One is the HTPC with no logon password (so that it boots straight into Vista). The other one requires a password to logon to Vista. The HTPC has the same issue as what you are experiencing - the 'next run time' is not set after a reboot. I am guessing that this is by design as a security feature. The other PC does set the next run time correctly, but only after logging on as the user who created the schedule. On mine, the user who created the schedule has admin rights, but is not the full admin AFAIK. I recall in an earlier post that you need to set up the schedule as full admin, but am not sure if you've already tried this. I will give it a go later on the HTPC to see if it can boot without a password and set the 'next run time' for the scheduled reboot task. I am pretty confident that this can be done, as a similar reboot function is available on the [url="http://slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml"]Media center Standby Tool[/url]. Just a matter of getting the settings right. I'll post back later. MLH01. [/QUOTE]
