  • Article

The new Task Scheduler 2.0 in Windows Vista is no longer just a simple tool for end users. It now provides a powerful platform for designing and managing complex background operations, and in some cases can replace the need for Windows services.

A simple Task Scheduler Explorer app is included in the download for this installment of the Windows with C++ column, and you can explore all of the sample code online.
