TURNING OFF TASK SCHEDULER IN WIN98

If you use have Windows 98, one of the icons on your Taskbar in the system tray area (rightmost indented area) may be that for a program called the Task Scheduler. (Hold your mouse for a second or so over each icon in the tray in order to see what each one is connected to, if you don't know what they are. A little tool tip will pop up with the name of the program associated with the icon.) Turning off the Task Scheduler is an unusually difficult and esoteric task; here is how to do it: begin by double Clicking My Computer to open it, then double click the Scheduled Tasks folder to open that. Now click on Advanced and then on Stop Using Task Scheduler. You can now close the Scheduled Tasks window and the My Computer window. Now the icon for Task Scheduler should have disappeared from your Taskbar.
