Yes, this will get rid of the task scheduler, but this must be done each and every time one fires up the puter. Your suggestion is a 'given'. That is not what I want to do--read my question again---I want to get the Task Scheduler completely out of my system. It can be done, I just don't remember how to do it. I seem to remember it involves some tinkering with the registry. Thanks for answering, anywho. Bill. > >On Wednesday, December 5, 2001 at 2:42 pm, Bill Fleming wrote: >Ok, I run W98SE.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 at 1:06 pm Posted by Preston (1 messages posted) I too tried everything. The regedit, wasnt there for some reason this time. Msconfig,again, it wasnt there either. Clicking Disable didnt work in the Scheduler properties. So instead, I searched for mstask.exe in C:\windows\system directory and renamed it mstask.bak. No more problems. If you find it interferes with programs that may need it, just rename mstask.bak back to mstask.exe Good luck. P.S.

Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 6:00 am Posted by Palo (1 messages posted) 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 On Wednesday, December 5, 2001 at 2:42 pm, Bill Fleming wrote: >Ok, I run W98SE.
