Type AT /? at the command line, I think the option you are missing is the
/interactive flag...

Hmmm.... I haven't tried a windows form app from the task scheduler -
but regular gui apps work. I see no reason why it shouldn't. Did you
make sure that you checked the exit code? Did the task actually run
succesfully? Often times, it means that the form did something that it
didn't have permission to do, so the program died...

well, all the window app is suppose to do is display a form. i can see it in
the Processes tab of the task manager but no form shows up. i also tried, as
a test, to schedule the game Hearts to start and the same thing happened
(shows in the Processes that it's running but no window.
now after reading your reply i tried it on a different machine signed on as
an administrator instead of a user and it worked. so where would i begin to
troubleshoot this where it would work on a user level?
thanks,

ok, i just confirmed something. when i schedule the task on the pc it was
built on it runs fine. if i move the .exe file to a pc that just has the .Net
framework and no visual studio it doesn't show the gui but it shows up in the
processes.
any ideas?

In terms of "ideas" - what account is the scheduled process running under on
the second machine? Is it the logged on user account, or something differnt?
I have a feeling if it's something different you won't see the UI, since
that could effectively be used to give a logged on user with lower
privileges access to an application that lets them do far more than they
should be doing.
Might also be worth making sure as well that the assemblies have been signed
and are thus trusted as well.

some of my managers to be able to see the status of tasks without

Thus, does anyone know of anything IBM have published to allow...

Hi,
I am a newbie at C#. Here is my current problem:
I want my application to iterate through the list of tasks presented in
task manager. I want it to look at the task names and if a certain task
exist in the task list I want to kill it (as nice as possible).
I started the task manager with the following row:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\windows\\system32\\taskmgr.exe");

I have some users that continuously end task on my database when a search
takes to long. In turn corrupting the application. Is there any way to
prevent this? The Microsoft KB for Methods That Can Be Used to Prevent
Corruption suggests not allowing Task Manager to shut down the application
but gives no way to prevent this. Any suggestions would help.
Thanks in advance,

In the last 1-3 weeks, we have had numerous users of Task Manager 2007
(www.orbisoft.com) complain that they can no longer export certain
reports (Task Manager 2007 uses a Sagekey.com Access 97 runtime) to
Excel 2003 or Word 2003 format.
They say they get an error message then both Task Manager 2007 and
Office 2003 shut down.
Any ideas why this is happening?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
