Q. How can I add the Scheduled Tasks icon to the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 desktop?

To create an Scheduled Tasks shortcut on your desktop:

1. Open a CMD.EXE windows.

2. Type the following command and press Enter:

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF\} /F

3. If the icon doesn't appear in a few seconds, left click a blank area of your desktop and press F5.
