How do I run my .NET application in scheduled tasks when I am not logged in

Question

I have a C# console application that just processes data. The problem is that when I log off, the console application ends. If I schedule the application to run at a set time and I am not logged in, the application does not run at all. I can run it interactively by double clicking the exe and I can open scheduled tasks and run it by right clicking and selecting run. As soon as I log out, the application ends. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For XP/Windows Server 2003 open your Scheduled Task and make sure the 'Run only if logged on' checkbox is cleared.

For Windows 2008 select the 'Run whether the user is logged on or not' option.
