If you set this up for the file type then the %1 is the name of the file. So to apply this knowledge to scheduled tasks, you can do: cmd /K "C:\php\php.exe -f C:\path\to\your\file.php" > > Start in: C:\path\to\php\file\ > > Run as: username/pass with security acess to > both php.exe and the file.php Agreed... it is much easier to manage it this way although it is *possible* to use the command "runas" to execute PHP as a different user. For help on these commands, just use: cmd /? runas /? > > YMMV > > pjn > -- Teach a man to fish...
