How to enable Windows XP Schedule Task function

[Guest makinha@yahoo.com]

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.

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:

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 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.
