How can you get a UID/PWD into a scheduler task....

[ToyFox]

My manager runs an executable every afternoon. It has a login and password page, then loads its main screen.
Using the Microsoft Scheduler, can I embed the passwords into the task.

Is there any configuration option of the program to disable it from requesting passwords? Any option for the program to remember passwords?

Can the password be added via the "Run" box on the Task tab as an added switch or parameter?

If you can't disable the request for a user input, or you can't pass it via a command line parameter, you may be out of luck?

Or you can use AutoIt to start the application, wait for the login window and type in the username and password.

I have a similar issue. I need to be able to switch user to Administrator via a script. Easy enough using runas but there won't be a user at the terminal to enter a password and press <enter>. Is there a way to do this via a script?

Can you set up a Scheduled Task to run as an Administrator and launch your Scheduled Task via a Script?
