Instructions
Step 1
Open the Run utility from the Windows Start menu. Enter the command C: WINDOWSSystem32svchost.exe –k netsvcs. After that, press the Enter key, and Windows XP Task Scheduler will open on your computer.
Step 2
Use an alternative way to start Task Scheduler. Since this is a common program included in the computer administration utilities, launch it from the corresponding menu on the control panel. Find a service named "Task Scheduler", if necessary, check the box on the automatic start.
Step 3
Turn on the service, restart your computer. Similarly, the scheduler is included in the Windows Vista and Windows Seven operating systems. In the latest OS, the scheduler can also be launched by entering the name of the utility in Russian in the search bar when opening the Start menu, this is due to the simplification of launching programs in Windows Seven. Note that they are also available in the computer control panel when you switch the icon view.
Step 4
In cases where, for some reason, the Task Scheduler service has disappeared, create a text document and enter in it the code of the operating system registry file that is responsible for this utility. It is quite easy to find it on the Internet, just copy it without changes, save it to your hard disk, and then enable the display of extensions for registered file types in the folder properties on the view settings tab.
Step 5
Rename the newly created document and change its extension from.txt to.reg. Double-click the file to open it, then confirm the changes to the system. Wait for the registry update and restart your computer. Also configure the automatic launch of the scheduler in the above way.
