I want to open a certain Excel document at the same time every day. I thought about using the 'Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks'. But when I choose this it is empty i.e. there are no icons for e.g. 'Add new task'. Is this perhaps due to the fact that I am working on a network and I may not have access to adding new tasks Are there any other explanations I know it is a bit vague but if you know anything then please help me! Thanks!

With proper permissions (I don't what that is, but probably local admin) you will see a "Add Scheduled Task" icon. This tool is a GUI for the very same Task Scheduler service that I described how to access programatically and from the command line in the other post (guess I'm too geeky to use GUIs :-o)
A nice feature is that the GUI allows you to tell what account the task shall run as. I.e. you can set the task to run as a low priveledged user account instead of the high priveledged account of the service itself. Run with as few permissions as possible is security best practice.
