Under XP I made an at task to call test.bat and run it in the background. One line in test.bat is echo %username%>>D:\list.txt. After test.bat runs at the scheduled time, the current logged-in username does not appear in list.txt, and instead it shows
"ECHO is off."
If I run test.bat by itself, it displays correctly. What is going on?

The at command uses the SYSTEM account,
which does not have the %username% variable.
You can use at xx:xx /interactive cmd
to start cmd,
then use set to check.
