18-22 Chapter 18 Using Windows XP Tools<br />

Practice: Using Task Scheduler<br />

In this practice, you schedule Address Book to start at a predetermined time. You can<br />

use this as a reminder to review address information. You also configure Task Scheduler<br />

options.<br />

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.<br />

2. In the Control Panel window, click Performance And Maintenance.<br />

3. In the Performance And Maintenance window, click Scheduled Tasks.<br />

Windows XP Professional opens the Scheduled Tasks folder.<br />

4. Double-click Add Scheduled Task.<br />

The Scheduled Task Wizard appears.<br />

5. Click Next.<br />

Windows XP Professional displays a list of currently installed programs. To schedule<br />

a program that is not registered with Windows XP Professional, click Browse<br />

to locate the program.<br />

6. Click Browse.<br />

Windows XP Professional displays the Select Program To Schedule dialog box.<br />

7. Double-click Program Files, and then double-click Windows NT.<br />

8. Double-click Accessories, and then double-click WordPad.<br />

9. Type Launch WordPad in the Type A Name For This Task text box.<br />

The Type A Name For This Task text box allows you to enter a description that is<br />

more intuitive than the program name. Windows XP Professional displays this<br />

name in the Scheduled Tasks folder when you finish the wizard.<br />

10. Click One Time Only, and then click Next.<br />

11. In the Start Time box, set the time to 4 minutes after the current system time and<br />

make a note of this time.<br />

To confirm the current system time, look at the Windows taskbar. Do not change<br />

the entry in the Start Date text box.<br />

12. Click Next.<br />

The wizard requires you to enter the name and password of a user account. When<br />

Task Scheduler runs the scheduled task, the program receives all the rights and<br />

permissions of the user account that you enter here. The program is also bound by<br />

any restrictions on the user account. Notice that the user name you are currently<br />

using is already filled in as the default. You must type the correct password for the<br />

user account in both password boxes before you can continue.
