Although I made progress since my post last night, I'm still hoping to
get some help on this please.

Here's a screenshot:

After changes in Services, I was able to set the password and it
appeared to 'stick', with ***** in the boxes. And I was pleased to
find that I was then able to get the scheduled task running.

But on rebooting my PC, I'm surprised to see the password (and
confirmation) boxes *empty* again! Yet that task still seems to run.

So, could someone please check and see if their boxes are also empty?

If it's OK for them to be empty, that seems odd: how can you tell you
have set them? But if it *works*, I'll relax <g>.
