Re: Windows 7 task scheduled job issue

Along those lines, replace C:\Windows with %windir%:
%windir%\System32\Forfiles.exe

Or, as an alternative, take the path out of the forfiles statement:
C:
CD \inetpub\ftproot\SystemiJrnRcvrs
%windir%\System32\Forfiles.exe -c "cmd /c del @FILE" -d -%AgeLimit% -m
MASTER*

Note that the full path is in there.

If I run the batch file directly in a command window or just
double-click it in Windows explorer, it runs fine. If I try to run it
from the task scheduler (either by the time trigger or right-click
and Run) it failswith opcode 2.

Should that be "Error Code 2"? A web search for an error code 2
yielded what possibly are some good topics to review. One suggests
using @PATH@FILE instead of just @FILE. Another suggests that a problem
will remain if the path or file name has embedded blanks, so the double
quote delimiter must be included; shown un-escaped in the -c switch so
like:
"cmd /c del "@PATH@FILE""
