I don't schedule it because the scan engine won't run as a system process. For the scan to touch all files on the computer it must be run interactively from an account with administrator privileges. The admin account is only active when logged in for admin tasks. Everyone's daily use account, mine included, has only "User" privileges. Just one of the techniques I learned to keep my Windows as trouble free as possible. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
