Disable Task Scheduler (Windows 95/98/Me)
Category: Home > Windows > Accessories > Task Scheduler
Task Scheduler is automatically installed in some versions of Windows, and also when you install Internet Explorer. This tweak will remove it from your system.
Open your registry and find the key below.
There should be a value named 'SchedulingAgent' which is set to equal 'mstask.exe', this is the entry that loads the Task Scheduler. Delete this value to stop the task manager loading again.
Note: You must also uninstall the Microsoft Windows Critical Update Notification from Add/Remove programs to completely remove Task Scheduler. See Microsoft support article Q195933 for more information.
