Click on Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks, this will walk you through setting up a task. If it doesn't run for all users try right clicking on the start bar, select open and navigate to Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks
Let me know if this helps

I can set the task up fine but it asks for a username and password so it will only run when that person is logged on.

Do the same thing that the guy in answer one said but you have to use the administrator's username, if it's not administrator, and password. This will override all other settings and whoever is logged into the computer at the time the scheduled task runs.

Run Task Manager and create a new task. During the wizard, select the application you want to run, select when, and then when it prompts you, enter the user information you want to provide for the task so that the task will run as the user you havetyped in, not the currently logged on user.

You want the task to run when the user logs on? Instead of at a given time? You need to be more specific. You can set logon options using group policies.
