YOurs was the way I was going to say. It's there on a drop down menu.

Removing Task Scheduler

In other machines, IIRC, there was a Scheduled Tasks icon in Control Panel,
where I could disable Task Scheduler.

In this machine, no icon. Task Scheduler keeps appearing in the System
Tray. I tried removing all keys for TS, it is still in the System Tray on
each reboot.

How to disable Task Scheduler, or better, remove it from my windows folder.

Default installation should have created folders
c:\windows\start menu\programs\startup
and
c:\windows\start menu\programs\disabled startup items.

Look in \startup and if you find Task Scheduler there
just remove it and past it into \disabled startup items.
Both are standard Windows folders (with special names
which Windows recognizes) and their contents can be
altered at will.

can also do the following:

scroll down and locate the following: TaskMonitor (taskmon.exe)
Scheduling Agent
(mstask.exe)

and remove the checkmarks beside these -2- items.

Double click on the icon in the System Tray to open it.
You can disable it there. I just don't remember what exactly you have to
click on to do it, but if you try all the options, it will be readily
apparent.

In that case I was wrong about what I said I did. I must have found
the task scheduler in Start, Programs, Accesories, System Tools,
Scheduled Task, advanced, pause task scheduler, which I recall now is
just what Emrys said (although he spells it Programmes just to confuse
this colonist.)

When you want to know where a startup program starts from, the most
comprehensive place to look is Run, MSINFO32, then to software
environment/startup programs. It shows the startup group, two or
three different parts of the registry, and a couple other places that
programs can be started from at startup. You can't change things
there but you can find out where to change them. The registry is
scary, so maybe ask again before deleting anything. In fact don't
ever delete from the registry. Export, so you can put it back in if
you can find the file you exported it to. :) Even things you think
you want to get rid of, maybe you don't.

Damn right. We should send them to help in Iraq.

Thanks to all.

As to results: double click the icon, the only option I see is Stop Using
TS, which probably means this session only, as I tried it before, no
luck.

TS does not appear in the Start Menu/Startup, that was why I posted here.

In msconfig, TS was already unchecked!

But something worked, as in a reboot today, it is gone. Windows functions
never give up without a fight.

That was why it didn't come back. (stop using TS)
It shouldn't reappear unless there is a program that has a task to run
scheduled.

No, it doesn't mean this session only. If you choose the option to stop using it,
it turns off till it is turned back on by a user (or by some rude software that
inserts something in Task Scheduler without asking the user), and disappears from
the system tray when you close the window.

Thanks, Good advice. By being careful, I have edited the registry for
several years. I use RegSeeker to remove specific keys related to
uninstalls, or programs I didn't like.

quote
-----
RegSeeker
95/98/NT4/ME/2000/XP/2003
My personal use, is to, delete only the Green entries.
1: Click on > Clean the registry.
2: Click on OK.
3: When searching is finished, click on Select All & choose Select all
Green items.
4: Right click on any Green item & click on Delete selected items.

RegSeeker is also very good for registry searching, click on Find in
registry, tick all the boxes in Keys, put a word ( example F-Secure )
in Search for: & click Search. Now you have a list on one page, of
all the registry entries for F-Secure.

And of course, there is always that great W98 feature scanreg/restore, or
Cop for restoring backup registries if necessary.

That's if you know all the settings and can apply them to a particular
problem.
