rebooting with batch file

Comment:
I'm trying to set up a scheduled task to reboot my computer at night with a batch file. The batch file I created works fine when I click on it, but when I set it up with my scheduled task manager, it didn't run the file for some reason. Can anyone help?
it's true dbl-clicking a bat file yourself and having it run under the scheduled tasks are going to run from two different accounts and it most likely the cause of your problem.
You can use the RUNAS command to specify which user to run a specific command.
hope that helps.
