Hi,
1st time posting so apologies for any mistakes in my approach.
basically everytime I setup the windows task scheduler it says that there is a problem with one or more arguments.

the only argument associated with this schedule are the programs address:
"C:\() Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe"
and the batch files location:
"C:\! Thomk Drive\Cloud\! Tech\! Sync\FileSync\Sync All.ffs_batch"

I have entered the " at start and end due to there being spaces in the address.

All of this is fairly new to me as I am pretty much entirely autodidactic in my tech knowledge.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Tom

Do the paths you type really contain the () and the ! or are this typos here? If first, that will be the reason ;)

Yeah, my ignorant means of getting folders to be at the top of the list. I liked that they go before numbers. Self taught idiocy it seems. I don't see it being due to the () as Windows uses it eg: program files (x86). It must be the !

Issue definitly isn't with freefilesync. Any task I open the properties page on will show the same error, regardless of which program is used or if there's any strange syntax.
