Appendix: How to Install Task Scheduler
a. Windows 98 and Windows 2000/XP:

Nothing to do ! The task scheduler is already preinstalled on your Windows system !

b. Windows 95

On Win 95 / NT the task scheduler is not preinstalled, but you can easily install Task Scheduler through Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. To install Task Scheduler under Windows 95, proceed as if running Windows NT4 (see below). Note: Windows 95 Plus! contains a product called System Agent. This is not the same product.

c. Windows NT4 (SP3+)

Go to the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or 5 from the list, and when a dialog prompt you for what to do, select Add a component. Depending on the current release of your browser (4 or 5), you will eventually be given a list of additional software
you may install (Note: this may take a long time!). With IE4 you should select Task Scheduler under Additional Explorer Enhancements. With IE5 select the Offline Browsing Pack. You can also go directly to <http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie>. From here you can select all IE software releases and add-ons. We recommend you upgrade to IE5. We've had a lot of problems reported about upgrading IE4, you would probably be better off installing IE5 anyway (it's a much better
browser). Click Yes to restart your computer when prompted.

Remark: If you are a Netscape supporter, do not worry: It is not necessary to install the shell integration component or or use Internet Explorer as your your default browser for the task scheduler to work. The task scheduler is a (more or less) independent piece of software that just happened to be be distributed via the Internet Explorer packages.
