I looked at Ed's article and the one thing that is misleading is that a
backup of My Documents will not cover items like IE Favorites &
Desktop ( If you store items there ) along with Email. The "Settings"
option will backup email account settings but I'm not sure about the
actual existing data stores. Windows stores data for each profile in
the Documents and Settings folder tree. Different pieces of data are
found outside the basic "My Documents" sub-folder. It's kind of
hard to explain in a simple NG posting.

To schedule and Authorize Tasks, your account needs a password or
the Administrator account ( Which normally has a NULL or empty
password ) needs one. To Windows an account without a password
is considered a security risk.
