If you are running Windows Scheduled Tasks, you can set the user ID the 
task runs under to a different ID and it will then run in the background.

Hold on a second. You're telling MRTG to run as a Daemon, meaning that 
once it runs it stays resident and repeats at the "Interval" setting or 
5 minutes by default.  Yet you're also running a scheduled task to kick 
it off as well?  Wouldn't this cause multiple instances to be running at 
the same time, +1 every 5 minutes?
