Where are kept Scheduled tasks?

Hmmm. Can't check right now. Stick it back in the old pc and while it
is accessible there, try to copy them from the Tasks folder to another
location then try again to see if they can be seen and copied from the
new location. Kind of a peculiar thing that you would see them when the
drive is mounted in one pc but not in the other. Might have something
to do with the Security Descriptors? If you don't have the proper
descriptor to access the tasks maybe they become invisible while in the
Tasks folder? Just guessing...
