On my work PC I have some batch jobs set up that run from a network resource. Because of this I have to set up the job with my domain user name and password.

This worked fine until I changed my network password yesterday, suddenly I was getting ‘Access Denied’ messages when I tried to save the jobs.

After a long talk with IT it turns out that my new password was the problem, I was trying to use ‘iosteam::in’ as my password but it seems that the double colon is not accepted or recognised by Windows Scheduled tasks so if you get the same problem just change your password and all should be OK.
