Task Scheduler Adding and Deleting Tasts

    
Task Scheduler a utility that runs maintenance routines, such as ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter, according to a specified schedule.  To open the Scheduled Tasks window, double-click the Task Scheduler icon in the tray of your Taskbar;  if you don't see the icon, select Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks, and then select Advanced, Start Using Scheduled Tasks.

To add a new routine to the list, click the Add Scheduled Task item, click Next, and wait as the wizard compiles a list of options. Select an application, such as Disk Defragmenter, click Next again, and follow along to set up a schedule for the task. Click Finish, and the new task appears in the Scheduled Tasks window. Repeat these steps for each task you'd like to add to the list.

To delete a task from the list, right-click it and select Delete. When you're finished adding and deleting tasks, close the Scheduled Tasks window. Then, as long as Windows and the Task Scheduler are running at the time for which tasks are scheduled, this little helper will run them for you.
