Trigger
Choose when to run the task: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, One time,
When the computer starts, When I log on, or When a specific event is
logged.
Daily, Weekly, etc.
Specify your criteria for the trigger you chose. For instance, if you
selected Daily, you??™ll be asked what time of day to carry out the task,
and for how many days in a row.
Action
Here??™s where you specify what to do. If you want Task Scheduler to run
a script, select Start a program, click Next, and then specify the full
path and filename of the script to run.
Finish
This one speaks for itself.
Or, if you don??™t like wizards, you can click the Create Task link instead to
jump right to the Properties window shown in Figure 9-6. Here, only two
pieces of information are required: the Name (under the General tab) and at
least one action (under the Actions tab). But if you want Task Scheduler to
ever run your task, you need to add your criteria (Daily, Weekly, etc.) under
the Triggers tab. Click OK when you??™re done.
The Task Scheduler Library is a little confusing, especially if you??™re used to
the Scheduled Tasks folder in earlier versions of Windows. Only on the Summary
page??”select Task Scheduler (Local) in the folder pane on the left??”
are all your active tasks shown in one place, and it??™s at the bottom of the
window.
In the Actions pane on the right, click the View link and
then select Show Hidden Tasks to make sure you??™re seeing
everything Task Scheduler is doing.
