Some of you have problems with the Scheduler in XP because you need to provide a password (some even use a different scheduler and pay money for it because of that)
If you alone use your computer then there is no reason for a password and you also want to boot direct, not being reminded and having to input a password
There is an easy fix for that
First go to Control Panels - User Accounts and add a password to your login account/name
Go to this web site at Microsoft and download Tweak UI v1.33

Install Tweak UI v.133 and launch it (you find it under 'PowerToys for Windows XP' in Programs - Start menu.
Click on the left side the + sign before Logon and then on Autologon. Now on the right side put a checkmark into Log on automatically at system startup (make sure below is your User Name and Domain filled into the 2 boxes). Click apply and OK.
Your Windows XP will start like before and you don't have to enter the password to log on - and you can now setup Scheduler (use the same password) and it will work
