Thanks for pointing out the backslash issues Eric.

1) I guess you are the admin on your PC, hence it worked with the option "User Logged on". I mentioned highest privileges, to avoid repetition of the process, if the the OS doesn't let you execute the operation, just with user logged on option.

2) Actually, Wordpress surprisingly removes all the backslash elements on the rendered HTML in a post. Its for some security reasons. The solution is to use \ which will be replaced by on the rendered HTML.

In some cases one would need to use three to display it in within a WordPress post. or can use the & # 92 ; Ascii code to display it.

Thanks for your tip, I have fixed it now and the command is in correct format now.

This is a great bit of info. However, I must mention a couple of issues I ran into.
1- I found that the “Security Options” where it is stated to “Make sure you Check the option – “Run with Highest Privileges”, I needed to “Run only when user is logged on”.
2- the command you say to copy or type is missing the back slashes and causes a little frustration….. it should be –> C:WindowsSystem32schtasks.exe /run /tn “MyProgramExe”.

Again, thanks much for the information to rid us of the annoying UAC…!
