This topic covers how to schedule and manage tasks (applications and
processes) using Scheduled Tasks and Task Manager.

Managing Tasks

By creating tasks and
scheduling
them, administrators can cause programs to run automatically without
user intervention. Examples of tasks that can be scheduled include
running scripts, running applications, and opening documents.
Scheduling tasks is made possible by the Task Scheduler service,
which starts automatically and runs in the background. Using the
Scheduled Tasks Wizard, administrators can create and configure tasks
and schedule how and when they run on the computer.

Once a task runs and the associated program starts, the program can
be managed using Task Manager. Using this tool, administrators can
start or end tasks, switch between tasks, and kill the processes
associated with tasks.
