Many of us forget to do really basic things to our PCs to help keep them running in tip-top shape. These things including emptying the recycle bin, defragging, and backing up your data. To help you remember to perform these maintenance tasks, Windows includes a Scheduled Tasks tool. To schedule a task, click Start, select All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and click Scheduled Tasks. Double-click the Add Scheduled Tasks icon to start the Scheduled Task Wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the task to perform. You may need to click the Browse button to select system tools such as Disk Defragmenter and Checkdisk. The wizard also prompts you for the task’s frequency and the name and password of the user associated with the task. To ensure successful task completion, define an administrator as the associated user.
