Task Scheduler Returned Error 0x2 While Running Batch File by lqd1967
I need to run a batch script to download files via ftp. The script works fine on XP pro, deleting specified files from a local directory and replacing them with downloaded files from an ftp server. When I run the script through Task Scheduler in vista, it only removes the specified files without downloading the replacements. Just to add that I tested the bacth file manually and it worked fine.

Logging off other users who have left the computer by idavp
How do I log off other users of my computer in Vista. I used to be able to do this in XP by opening task manager, selecting the account and logging them off. I have tried doing this in Vista but receive a message that says I am not allowed, even though they are set as standard users and I am the administrator.
