>If you put a user name when you press ok to save the task it will ask you the password for the user but you need to select "Run whether user is logged on or not" for if you select the first one "Run only when user is logged on" my guess is that it will just pass the credentials, so no need for a password.

The current setting is "Run whether user is logged on or not".

You are right. This is highly confusing. I had to write a procedure for changing the password and it only pops up at the end.
