Launching the Scheduled Task Wizard programmatically

Eric

Is there a way for my .Net application to lauch the Windows Scheduled Task
Wizard? I know there are the ITask APIs to create tasks directly. But is
there a way for my application to launch the Wizard itself so that the user
can schedual the event however they want?

Never tried it but I expect you could just shell it using process.start()

I looked into this. Using task manager, I discovered that the Schedued Task
Wizard doesn't run in it's own process but rather in the explorer.exe
process. I can't find a way to start it as it's own process.
