    Hi..

    I notice a great lilttle tool called Task Scheduler. However I am not sure how to use it effectively. I have seen setting Defrag.. but Defrag as you know already have a auto scheduling option.

    My question would be... Can any Advance/Seasoned users of this application give me some ideas waht I can use this for?

    Thx

    defrag is about your best bet for task scheduler. if you have an antivirus, it should be set to automatically scan and update itself.

    i don't think you can add outside programs to automatically work (such as ccleaner or adaware or spybot or etc) but the programs themselves should be able to do that themselves if you tweak around with it.

    maybe another user can help you out, i usually don't use task scheduler as I like to oversee everything myself. good luck!
