===Task Scheduler 1.0=== is almost the same as task scheduler 2.0 ( just you can disable this one :) )

Task Scheduler 1.0 is included with [[Windows 2000]], [[Windows XP]] and [[Windows Server 2003]].<ref name="about">{{cite web | url = http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446802.aspx | title = About the Task Scheduler | accessdate = 2007-10-06}}</ref> It runs as a [[Windows Service]], and the task definitions and schedules are stored in [[binary]] <code>.job</code> files. Tasks are manipulated directly by manipulating the <code>.job</code> files. Each task corresponds to single action. On [[Windows 95]], [[Windows 98]] and [[Windows Me]], the Task Scheduler runs as an application (mstask.exe). It also displays a status icon in the notification area on Windows 95 and Windows 98 and runs as a hidden application on Windows Me. On the [[Windows NT]] family of operating systems, it is implemented as a [[Windows service]].
