Taming Task Scheduler
By mistake, I turned on Task Scheduler in My Computer, and now I can't turn
it off. I've deleted scheduled tasks, examined my StartUp folder, and made
other efforts. Yet whenever I restart or boot the computer, Task Scheduler
reappears in my system tray. How do I permanently turn off Task Scheduler?

Chances are that you installed Microsoft Windows Critical Update
Notification from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. This notification
software can cause Task Scheduler to keep running, since Critical Update
Notification takes precedence over other Task Scheduler settings.

Unfortunately, if you have this software installed and you want to turn off
Task Scheduler for good, you'll have to remove the Critical Update
Notification software: First, choose Start, Settings, Control Panel, and
double-click the Add/Remove Programs option. After you make sure the
Install/Uninstall tab is in front, select Windows Critical Update and click
Add/Remove. Then follow the on-screen instructions.

Next, in the system tray, double-click the Task Scheduler icon. When the
Scheduled Tasks window opens, find Critical Windows Update on the task list,
right-click it, and choose Delete. Then choose Advanced, Stop Using Task
Scheduler. Exit the Scheduled Tasks window.

If you later decide that you want to use Task Scheduler again, you can
restart it by following these steps: Choose Start, Programs, Accessories,
System Tools, Scheduled Tasks; then select Advanced, Start Using Task
Scheduler.
