WindowsXP comes with a "Task Plan", which helps us run a program or execute some operations within a specified period of time, which greatly facilitates many friends with "amnesia. If you can leverage the hidden functions and special settings in the "Task Plan", its "efficacy" will multiply.
Enable the old computer to start automatically
Some old motherboard BIOS does not support timed start function. If you use the "Task Plan" combined with Windows Power Management, you can enable the old computer to automatically start every morning, wake up Windows XP in sleep state. Click Start> attachment> System Tools> task plan to open the task plan wizard. Click "Next" and select an MP3 song from the computer. Click "Next", set "Daily" to execute the task, and set the execution time to "7: 00". Then, enter the account name and password of the current Administrator. Finally, select "Open Advanced properties of this task when you click Finish ". Click "finish". In the Properties dialog box of the task plan, select the "Settings" tab and select the "Wake up computer to run this program" option. In this way, if the sleep option is selected during shutdown, the old computer will automatically wake up the system at every morning and start the corresponding program to play the specified song, wake you up.
One "task" and multiple "Plans"
Generally, a task plan can only be executed within the specified time. Have you ever thought about how to make one task implement multiple plans? The method is simple. Open the "Task Scheduler" folder, right-click a scheduled task, right-click a scheduled task, select the "properties" command from the context menu, and select the "scheduler" tab in the displayed dialog box. Select "show multiple tasks", set the type and execution time of the scheduled task, and click "new" to add multiple execution plans for the task.
Task Plan and e-mail

After receiving the task plan, drag and drop the task plan file to the task plan folder.
Terminate task plans in batches
In some cases, you may need to temporarily stop all scheduled tasks in the current system. It is too cumbersome to open the task scheduler folder and stop one by one. In this case, you can run the "netstopSchedule" command in the "run" dialog box to stop the Task Scheduler Service. To restore all scheduled tasks, run the "netstartSchedule" command in the "run" dialog box to restart all scheduled tasks.
Quickly create a task plan
When you use the task scheduler Wizard to create a task, you need to perform multiple steps. This step can be simplified if you use the AT command of the WindowXP system. For example, if you want to enable the computer to automatically play music half an hour before leaving work this afternoon, you can execute the "AT17: 30E: Music \ go home" command in the "run" dialog box.
