Fabio,
Thanks for the post. I played that idea too. It works to open the "Scheduled
Tasks" folder by starting a process for Control.exe and the argument being
"SchedTasks". Unfortunately, 2 problems: 1)Tthe process that opens the
folder window exits immediately once the folder window is opened, so there's
no way (short of monitoring/using FindWindowEx on the "Scheduled Tasks"
window) to determine when the user is finished with it. 2) There's still no
way to launch the "Add Scheduled Task" wizard ... bummer :( .
