Task Scheduler and the At command

In addition to using Task Scheduler, you can also use the at command to run tasks automatically.

Task Scheduler is not the same as the at command, but the two work together. When you schedule a task by using the at command, it appears in the list of tasks in the Task Scheduler window.

You can use Task Scheduler to modify the properties of a task that was scheduled by using the at command. However, if you do, you must continue to use Task Scheduler to access the task. You can no longer access it by using the at command.

To specify the user account that will run tasks scheduled with the at command, in My Computer, click Scheduled Tasks, and on the Advanced menu, click AT Service Account.
