Can someone help me with this? I am trying to schedule outlook express
to run in a certain time using the task scheduler in windows XP. But
it does not work if in the box "Run as" I put a new user account I
created. This account has its password so I put it in the password
box too. But it does not run even if I click on the task icon. Is
there any problem with Outlook Express when you try to run it using a
WindowsXP user account different from the current user account?

Lets say, my user current account is "Erika"
and I try to run this task as my other administrator user "Yanina".

If I run it as "Erika" Outlook express runs.
If I am logged in as Erika but I try to run the task as "Yanina" i t
doesn't work an d I don't get any error message.

Help me, please

It works very nicely but it is invisible to you if you run it
under an account other than your logon account.

have you tested it? How can I notice if it is working? The outlook
express window is not show on screen

Press Ctrl+Alt+Esc to launch the Task Scheduler, then click
the Processes tab. Now click the header "Image Name",
then look for "msimn.exe". This is the process that runs OE.
It is invisible to you when you launch it with the Task Scheduler
under a different account.

Here's some help: Ask in a group with OE in the title. Notice this
goup lacks that.

Ask elsewhere.
