Off-topic NT question

Rick,
�
Well here is what I have found out...
�
The executable that runs the Task Scheduler is "mstask.exe". I shut off the Scheduler service, then tried to run mstask.exe from a command line. I got an error message that says you can't do that, use the "Scheduled Tasks" folder to control the service. I found the folder... "C:\Winnt\Tasks". In there I found an Add Scheduled Task icon. When I double-clicked it, and walked through the wizard (creating a useless, harmless task) it started the Task Scheduler service automagically. This is on NT4 with IE5. Actually just kicking off the "Add a Task" wizard launched the Scheduler service.
�
Maybe something here will help you out...
�
Matt

>From the world of weird...

I use NT 4.0 SP 6a.

I use at scheduler for backups.

Today I discovered scheduler has disappeared from the services program!

I went to our father microsoft knowledge base but search yielded
nothing.

Before I sign up for expensive "per incident" assistance, I thought one
of ya'll might have some input (which is of course is greatly
appreciated!!)

Which version of Internet Explorer are you using?
With version 5.x the "Scheduler" service is replaced with "Task Scheduler"
Just a thought, you may try reinstalling IE or install the latest version of
IE.
