1) Double click on the 'My Computer' icon on the desktop.
2) Double click on the 'Scheduled Tasks' Applet.
3) Double click on the 'Add Scheduled Task' entry in the white window and answer the first question, then look at the list of items that you can schedule in the list on the next screen.
4) You can tell it when and how often etc.

"Scheduled tasks"???

Where's that at in NT? I can't find it. The only way I know of is to use the scheduler (AT command), or an add-on software package. Please enlighten us both...

FYE, it comes with IE5. It's just another frontend for the same service (task scheduler). If you use the command line at.exe, or winat.exe or 'Geplante Vorgänge' (this is german, hehe) it's all the same.

Oh. Well, that would explain it as I don't use IE (or any browsers) on my servers.

Thanks...

I have a problem with the scheduled task.
If I log off when the scheduled task is running, it will stop running. Do any of you know how to maintain the scheduled task running when I log off? btw, I am using win nt 4.0

thanks
