Notes
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators, Backup Operators, or Server Operators group, or have been delegated the appropriate authority, on the local computer. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
To open Task Scheduler, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Scheduled Tasks.
You can also remove a scheduled task by selecting a task in the details pane, and then clicking Delete on the File menu.
Removing a scheduled task removes only the .job file from the schedule. The program file the task runs is not removed from the hard disk.
