I have recently started upgrading some of the systems we use on sites at work with Intel SSDs.
These systems have an admin account and a user account which is set as a limited account.
As we are using XP, the SSD Toolbox software is going to need running weekly to perform TRIM but setting this as a scheduled task from the user account is causing issues, as the software needs to run as admin in order to fully access the SSD.

I'm a bit if a noob at this aspect, so forgive my ignorance if it is blindingly simple to get around, but I am really stumped!
 
i think you should be able to set the task to run with the credentials of an admin user account?? admittedly, i don't have access to XP so i have no idea what the settings/dialogs look like. :p
 
As above, right click the .exe file that the task will execute, select 'run as' and enter the administrator info.
