I found by adding /V1 to the parameters, it works correctly... I'm able to run the task by clicking run in the task scheduler. &nbsp;However, using this switch when it creates the task, prompts for the user's password. &nbsp;I'd like to skip that if possible.

Interesting... I used:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40449140-1">CurrentDirectory = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(&quot;.&quot;)</code></pre>
Similar idea, but I'll give yours a go.

Interesting... I used:


CurrentDirectory = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(".")

Perfect! &nbsp;Thanks a ton.

I'm creating a scheduled task within a .vbs that creates the task using:<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28563250-1">schtasks /create /tn Eterna /tr &quot;d:\data\eterna.vbs /sc WEEKLY /d MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI /st 08:00:00</code></pre>

But when I run the task, it thinks the current directory is c:\windows\system32. &nbsp;I have an .ini file in the same directory as .vbs (d:\data) that it can't find. &nbsp;How to I get the task scheduler to use the same directory as the target of the action?

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
