Can not find the task in the Task Scheduler

I created a fundamental task to connect to an ad - hoc network whenever I boot my laptop with Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I don't want that to happen and I deleted the network tries to delete the task.  When I open the Task Scheduler, I don't see my task listed.  I made sure 'show hidden tasks '.  I know that the task runs as I continue to receive errors not being to find the ad hoc network.

I created a new task of fundamental task, called 'test' starts just the calc program and it shows in the list of tasks.

Any help?

As others have found, if you change the name of your computer, scheduled tasks that have been associated with a specific user account (like the logon trigger, such as the credentials for the job and so forth) will no longer appear in the list of scheduled tasks. Scheduled tasks displays the message "an error has occurred for task xxxx. Error message: the specified account name is not valid. "The same thing happens if you delete a user account that is named in a scheduled task.
 
The reason for the problem is that the computer name part of the account name (for example, "mycomputer\myaccount"), and so if a part of the name is not valid, the associated account is no longer recognized. Unfortunately, given that the scheduled tasks will not display the task entry broken, you cannot fix it directly.
 
The tasks themselves are defined in XML files in plain text stored in \windows\system32\tasks. The files have the same name as their entries in scheduled tasks.
 
If a task is not desired, you can simply delete the corresponding file from \windows\system32\tasks.
 
If you want to restore a task, you must change the computer name and/or account name everywhere wherever he is in the job file. But, you can just edit the file in place to solve the problem. Scheduled task detects that the file has been modified externally and even once will not use or display.
 
I managed to solve the problem by following these steps:

  1. Move the file to the task entry broken of the \windows\system32\tasks in another case. You want to move it, copy it not - file must be put out \windows\system32\tasks. You can do this by using Windows Explorer or move the command in a command prompt window.
  2. Using Notepad, open the file in its new location. Set the name of the computer or the name of the account as it happens and save the file. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other tasks of problem.
  3. Open scheduled tasks, or select the menu Action, refresh. It should be no error message now, given that the task of the problem has been removed.
  4. On the Action menu, use the import command to locate the edited file. This will restore the scheduled task.
  5. Test the restored task by opening and then run. Once everything works, you can remove older versions of the file task as you had moved it. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any other task edited file.
