When
I first started using computers I used to hate it when a program would
startup when you were busy doing something else. This does not bother me
anymore as I am in control of the scheduled tasks for Windows. You can
organize your anti virus and ad ware checker to run at a scheduled time.
Here's how to change settings in your Windows
Scheduled Tasks.
-
Go to the start menu at the
bottom left of your desktop.
-
Choose Control Panel from the
menu.
-
Double click on the icon that
says Scheduled Tasks. The window below will appear.
-
You can see the programs I have already
scheduled in the list.
-
Double click on Add Scheduled Tasks
to set a time for a program to start.
-
Browse for the program
-
Highlight it blue and press
next.
-
Now you can set a time or frequency
for the program to run.
Notes:
-
Scheduled tasks is especially handy to
stipulate when your anti virus is going to run a full scan. If you leave
your computer on all the time, you can schedule it for the middle of the
night.
-
You can also use Scheduled tasks to start a
download program at night. This way it will not take up bandwidth speed
when you are using it. Just make sure it is set to download your files
automatically when the program starts.
