Start Using TaskSchedulerView
=============================

TaskSchedulerView doesn't require any installation process or additional
DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
TaskSchedulerView.exe
After running TaskSchedulerView, the main window displays the details of
most tasks from the Task Scheduler of Windows. However, some of the tasks
cannot be accessed without full administrator privileges. In order to
view all tasks, you can easily run TaskSchedulerView as Administrator by
pressing Ctrl+F11.
Inside the main window of TaskSchedulerView, you can easily select one or
more tasks, and then export them to
text/comma-delimited/tab-delimited/html/xml file (By using the 'Save
Selected Items' option) or copy the selected tasks to the clipboard and
then paste them to Excel or other application. You can also disable or
enable the selected tasks. Be aware that some of the tasks can only be
disabled/enabled if you run TaskSchedulerView as Administrator.

TaskSchedulerView also allows you to view and disable/enabled the tasks
of a remote computer, as long as you have permission to do that. In order
to connect a remote computer, simply press F9 (Advanced Options), choose

computer. This option is needed only if you want to get the information
about COM handlers, which is loaded from Registry.
