I've created a task with a trigger that starts a custom Windows Form application "At log on" of a specific user. In order for the task to succeed in running the application upon log on of the specific user, I must specify the specific user and their password when registering the task definition (ie: ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(taskName, td, TaskCreation.CreateOrUpdate...). I'm able to save/register the task, but the "Run whether user is logged on or not" option gets enabled under the "General > Security options" tab in the Task Manager. Thus, my application cannot start. When I manually change the Security option to "Run only when user is logged on" my application starts fine upon login. The problem is that I cannot set this option programmatically in ver 2.0 of the library.
In addition, I should not have to specify a password in the definition of the task if the "Run only when user is logged on" option is enabled because the user enters a password upon log on. When creating the task in the Task Scheduler manually, it does not prompt for a password.
How can I get this working so my application will start.

My mistake. To get the effect of that property, you will need to register the task using a TaskLogonType of InteractiveToken or InteractiveTokenOrPassword. The first takes no username or password and the second requires both. Under v2, the logon type determines the state of that checkbox.
