Can't Find Scheduled Task

I posted this question in the Google help forum but haven't gotten a reply.
Even though I have the Google Update Service disabled in services it still
shows in Task Manager's Processes tab and appears to be running.
I don't see the file in any startup place in Vista Basic or in the Startup
folder in my Start Menu.
I can't find it in Scheduled Tasks
Is there anywhere else I might look to disable this annoying service?

Thanks,
James

It's in Scheduled Tasks. Click Task Scheduler Library in the tree and you'll
see it in the middle pane.

In Vista Basic sp2 I see no Scheduled Tasks.
I do see Task Scheduler in Administrator Tools.
I looked in Task Scheduler and couldn't find it.

Well if you read what I said you'd find it. What's the point of posting if
you intend to ignore responses.

From my first post
Click Task Scheduler Library in the tree and you'll
see it in the middle pane.

Note it is not under any category.

That's what I thought.
I went through every item in the Task Scheduler Library and I didn't see any
Scheduled Task for Google Update.
