Removing a Task from Scheduler

I would like to Create a Task in Computer Management ==> Task Scheduler,
which will run for a yet to be determined no. of days. At the appropriate
time, I would like to remove the task from the scheduler. I don't see an
option for this.... how do I remove the task ? Not just terminate its
execution.....thx

Hi Zach,

Make sure the "selected item" section is expanded at lower right. Once you
have a folder open and select a task within it, the option to delete it
should appear in that area.

Rick, got it but here is the next problem. I scheduled a task as a test (to
display a msg. on the desktop) and IT WORKED. Now I want to make changes to
it, delete it, whatever. How do I know in what folder is it in for this or
other tasks ? I checked all the folders in the Task Schedule Library and
it's not in any of them.
Thanks again.

Hi,

On the upper right, click the option to display all running tasks. See if
it's listed here.

Not there....even if it were, the only option/button in the list of tasks
window is "End Task", which I assume will terminate the task and future
scheduled times. But how would you delete it ? But this is the 2nd
challenge...the first is to be able to see it as running. Pls let me know if
you have any other ideas.....thx

I found it ! It was not in the running tasks list because my test task was
scheduled but not running. I could not find it in the Task Scheduler Library
because I was looking in each folder in the Library but I had never
selected/clicked on the Library itself. Finally, I was also able to find
information in the Help & Support on this issue (had tried previously with
out success), which took me to the Microsoft Technet and it's all there.

Thank you again !
