Task Scheduler is automatically installed in some versions of Windows, and also when
you install Internet Explorer. This tweak will remove it from your system.
Open your registry and find the key below.
There should be a value named 'SchedulingAgent' which is set to equal 'mstask.exe',
this is the entry that loads the Task Scheduler. Delete this value to stop the task
manager loading again.
Registry Settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
Value Name: SchedulingAgent
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Data: mstask.exe
