I've been using FFS for a few months but for some reason the external devivce I was using as backup recently changed drive letter from F to G. I was unable to resolve this easily, so I figured it would be easier to just make a new batch file and scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler.
However, when I try to run the scheduled task in Task Scheduler, I get the FFS error box "Cannot find file "G:\Data Backup\FreeFileSync settings and logfile\DataSyncSettings.ffs_batch".
The batch file is saved under the external drive (G) that the data saves to. I've copied the batch file thread directly from the folder so it should be correct, and I know that batch file is present at that location and under that name.
Very strange - I had not problem like this before.
System is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.
Thanks,
Steve.

OK, I think I've solved it.
I need to put only the batch file name (DataSyncSettings.ffs_batch) in the "Add arguments" box, and the rest of the file path needs to be put in the "Start in" box.
That's not how it's shown in the FFS Help tutorial - maybe this should be updated to be clearer.
