How do I kill the Task Scheduler?

[KaBudokan]

I know I've done it in the past, but I can't remember how to get rid of this app (or at least how to get it out of the system tray). Just installed Windows again, and I thought I'd gotten rid of it.

Well??? How do ya?

Thanks.

I assume you'reusing win9x/ME. if yes, uncheck it loading in msconfig!

 

[jmitchell]

or... double click it to open it, the from one of the menus (advanced maybe) choose stop using task scheduler

 

[KaBudokan]

OK - I tried both of those things. (I had tried them before...)

It's STILL THERE!!! lol

Under msconfig, I am disabling "scheduling agent" - is there something else I am missing?

I don't get it. The thing won't die!!!

More info-What operating system you using?

The 'stop using scheduler' should have stopped if for Win98

It's a Service under NT and so the Services MMC will disable it.

Using Windows 98 - I don't know why it didn't work. I thought it should as well.

did you select selective startup & did you reboot after making the changes to see if the scheduler appeared or not?

Ok... I did have selective startup checked, but I went in and switched it back to normal, rebooted, and then changed it back, and I finally killed the f***** thing.

Gracias amigos!!!
