On the Advanced menu, click Stop Using Task Scheduler. Note When you turn off Task Scheduler, your scheduled tasks will not run and Task Scheduler will not start automatically the next time you start Windows.	Guest (0)

In My Computer/Windows Explorer go to Scheduled Tasks, right click on each, choose Properties and untick the box that says Enabled. There must be a quicker way to do the lot at once but like I say, I can't remember it.	Guest (0)
