    Odd behaviour with Task Scheduler


    I have a small program set to run via a Scheduled Task on the "At startup" trigger after a 2 minute delay A If I "Start button > Power > Restart" then it runs. B I have another .NET program that runs at night and shuts the computer down programatically: When I reboot in the morning after this, the Scheduled Task runs. C But, if I "Start button > Power > Shut down", then reboot - it doesn't. Why won't C run? Seems mighty odd to me.

    :)
