25615 2001-11-26 06:44:00 Downloaded a Critical Update via Microsoft's Windows Update service......... And somehow received a wonderful new version of Task Scheduler which now sits in the systray quite happily all the time. Even if I select 'Stop using Task Scheduler' next time I reboot, what do you know.....it's back with a vengeance!

Can anyone tell me how to rid my poor PC of this infernal beast!!!!???

Thanks heaps!

Type msconfig
Press ENTER
Click on the startup tab.
Uncheck Task Scheduler.

Alternatively...

Goto: StartMenu>Run...

Type regedit.
Press ENTER
Click File>export registry file to back up your registry before you make any changes.

Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunServices

HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cu rrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cu rrentVersion\RunServices

and remove any relevant entries.
