How to Add or Remove "Task Scheduler" from Control Panel in Windows
Information
The Task Scheduler enables you to automatically perform routine tasks on a chosen computer. With this service, you can schedule any program to run at a convenient time for you or when a specific event occurs. The Task Scheduler does this by monitoring whatever criteria you choose to initiate the tasks (referred to as triggers) and then executing the tasks when the criteria is met.
This tutorial will show you how to add Task Scheduler, also known as taskschd.msc, to the Control Panel in Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
