A lot of times we tend to forget our tasks scheduled on a particular day. Reminders on the cell phone have failed miserably due to its limited storage capacity. To minimize such kind of flaws at your workplace, you can schedule your tasks very easily with the help of a Task Scheduler. It’s most convenient for you to remember your daily tasks and each time you start Windows it runs in the background. Just read through the following steps and learn how to get started with a Task Scheduler.
• You can easily install Task Scheduler through Internet Explorer. Go to the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs.
• Select Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or 5 from the list, and when a dialog prompts you for what to do, select Add a component.
• Depending on the current release of your browser (4 or 5), you will eventually be given a list of additional software you may install.
• With IE 4 you should select Task Scheduler under Additional Explorer Enhancements.
• With IE 5+ select the Offline Browsing Pack. Or get your IE updates and add-ons from Microsoft’s website.
• It is not necessary to install the shell integration component or to use Internet Explorer as your default browser for the task scheduler to work. Remember task scheduler is independent software which is most often distributed via the Internet Explorer package.
• After successfully installing the Task Scheduler, you can use it to schedule commands, programs, or scripts to run at specified times.
How to use:
• To open Scheduled Tasks, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks.
• When Scheduled Tasks is running, this icon appears next to the clock on the taskbar. You can double-click the Scheduled Tasks icon on the taskbar to open Scheduled Tasks.
• Schedule a task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain times, such as when the computer starts or is idle. Customize how a task will run at its scheduled time. Turn off or change the schedule for an existing task.
