Task Scheduler
You don't really need this, but it is useful or handy. It allows you to get work done unattended during off-hours. It's often easier than trying to remember to-do lists.
Right clicking the thing will allow you to suspend the schedule, but you'll still see the icon with a red 'X', not a pretty sight.
You could run MSCONFIG, Startup tab, and uncheck the Scheduling Agent box. On re-booting, your system will not execute this feature, scheduled tasks won't run, and you won't be annoyed with the icon appearing in SysTray. The executable is MSTASK, so if you don't find Scheduling Agent, look for this.
You can use FIND and search for .JOB files. These files are determine what work is scheduled and when. You may find some beneficial things being done. You could use them as a starting point to create your own work schedules.
Hope this helps, Fred |
