How to setup Windows Vista/7 Task Scheduling at Login

I quickly put this png together to explain how to setup a Task Schedule for GPU-Z to launch it at user logon with full UAC priviledges while also minimizing to system tray at the same. I've also added a second trigger for the stupid (like me *Big Grin ), who always accidentally close the app instead of minimizing it.

For restart on change Process to function correctly the following must be done:

Restart if Task Fails must be enabled
If the task is already running DO NOT Start a New Instance
Add a New Trigger after the Main Trigger (lower priority) with the condition "When the task is created or modified"

The PNG below gives all the details to setting the Task Scheduling up.

To Launch Task Scheduler go to Start -> Admin Tools -> Task Scheduler
or run taskschd.msc /s from search box. Then just Create a Task and fill in the details.

Alternatively I've included an Exported Task which can be imported with the Import Task option. Unzip the file, and Import the XML then change the paths/usernames to suit your system. Either way take similar amounts of time. I included the exported task to help if necessary but it's best to create a new task when possible.







This method will bypass the UAC prompts at login, and because tasks are always sent to the system tray on Run this works around no sys tray support too *Wink W1zzard loves when things are fixed without him having to fix them *Big Grin
