Post subject: How to enable Windows XP Schedule Task function
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsnt>misc (more info?)

I am using win XP, and trying to add a scheduled task. In the
Scheduled Tasks Windows, the "Add schedule Task" icon is gone, and
when I right-click and select "New" "schedule task" there is nothing
happen. And I have checked that the service is started, and the group
policy for "User configuration > Administrative Template > Task
schedule" are all default "not configured". Is there anyone know the
trick to enable the Schedule Task function?

I have try to add the schedule job with AT command, but couldn't find
any option for AT command to add a job and run for every 15 minutes.

Thanks.

MK

What happens if you logon as a new user? (create a new account in 'User
Accounts').

Failing that this article may help.

or try from the command line.

You would really be better off posting for help in one of the XP help
groups. This groups is for NT, there is little traffic here and few XP
experts monitor or answer questions here, instead try posting to:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

You might try the command line utility AT.EXE or SCHTASKS.EXE. Both
are available with Windows XP.

For more info on both of these, you can try here:

AT.EXE

SCHTASKS.EXE

Here is the fix:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Task Scheduler 5.0
Value Name: Task Creation
Data Type: Reg_DWORD
Change value from one to 0.
