A task scheduled to run under different username

| Have you tried to schedule a task to run under different username?
In my computer, I logged on as Administrator and added a task to launch Word (or any other application, I really tried). Then I chose to launch it at once and everything was all right, the application started normally. I got into Security tab for this task and added Everyone Full Control.
Then I opened the task properties once again and changed the domain username to run this task, and of course his password. I chose to run the task at once and what happened?
Absolutely nothing visible. But in the Task Manager dialog box, in Processes tab, I could see the winword.exe process running. On the Application tab however, the application did not appear.
I made this test on two computers, using different usernames and different applications and the result was the same. So I think I am doing something wrong, but what is it? Or maybe W2K allows only batch tasks to run under different username?

| Are you using the at command to create the tasks? Using the at command with the /interactive switch will let thecurrently logged user see the task running, otherwise it will run, and no one will see it. |
