How to rename tasks scheduled under win7?

I would like to know how to rename tasks scheduled under win7

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

It can't be renamed directly, but if you export the task at any place, then re-import, it can be renamed during the import process.

Then just delete the old task.

  • How to configure Task Scheduler to run the program when the connection is established

    Windows 7 64 bit
    Dial-up Internet access

    I want to use the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to run a program IMMEDIATELY AFTER a dial-up connection is made to the internet.

    How can I configure the Task Scheduler in Windows 7 to do this, please?

    I am familiar with the Scheduler of tasks with the command line parameters.  Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    FYI: If an example is needed, Microsoft Security Essentials can be configured to update virus through this path with the argument definitions:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials/MpCmdRun.exe SignatureUpdate

    Maybe someone can use it to show how to configure the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to update MSE virus definitions, once the connection dial-up was made?

    Otherwise, for example, another program to run once established a dial-up connection would be OK, thanks

    Hello

    Scheduler of tasks is time driven.

    For order-driven event, you need a script.

    Question like that is much better treated in the TechNet IT Pro Forums.

  • Win7 anomalies__ Task Scheduler

    Recently, as soon as I open the Task Scheduler, "" error message: the specified account name is not valid "appears." The same message is displayed for each task. When I "ESC" for each task (the only way to remove the error messages), I find myself where I should go in the first place, and where I see the CorruptionDetector and DecompressionFailureDetector of the tasks have yet again; Neither appears in the active tasks, strangely, so I can't make corrective changes.

    The RACTask also disappeared entirely from work, and I don't know how to add it to check the reliability of the laptop. I have run the System Maintenance and no problems are detected. everything seems to work properly.

    I simply ignored Task Scheduler in total, you know, the ostrich-head-in-the-sand routine and just go about my business of usual VAIO laptop that I use only for Internet. I thought I would mention it to you, dear friends... see what you think.

    Oh, and I downloaded all updates for VAIO Care today only to find that the program is now completely corrupted, useless.

    Very strange, huh? Or is my laptop under remote control of crackers?

  • How to set the MRT to run in Task Scheduler

    In my work, I was asked to define Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool to run every month by setting up in Task Scheduler. We have an anti virus already, that we have just been asked to do what more than protection. I don't know how manually pull up of mrt and select full scan, but how can I put it to run automatically on the pc in the Task Scheduler without that person having to be there to start the program. I like it to auto-start, scan and nearby without that person having to be there to do it. We use Windows xp. Can someone help me?

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but "Microsoft releases an updated version of this tool the second Tuesday of each month and the need to respond to security incidents" If you really want to plan the MRT you downloaded in March to run each month until December.

    The MRT is included in the updates on "Patch Tuesday".  It runs automatically when it is first downloaded.  How is your company on the regular critical updates?

  • How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

    The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

    As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

    'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

    When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

    Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

    The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

    I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

    Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

    To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

    I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

    How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

    Hello

    Restoring the system end up with any error message?

    This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
    You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps-
    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.
    If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

  • How to use the Task Scheduler to send an email

    I have Windows Live Mail + Windows 7

    I want my computer to send an email to someone on his own. I opened the Task Scheduler and creates a new task using the Task Scheduler 'send and send '. The problem is that the program asks only me who he is, which comes from the e-mail and how to use smtp server... He doesn't ask for my mail server login and user name, so in theory it would be rejected... and when it comes to send the message, now it does nothing without any error message.

    I have 2 settings of e-mail in Windows Live Mail accounts but how do I know the Task Scheduler program which includes use of e-mail and how to connect to the account to send it?
