When I open the task scheduler from Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools nothing happens. When i goto start\run c:\windows\tasks, it opens up in an explorer windows and I can see the job files but that is it. Normally when I do this it just opens up the task scheduler. How do I fix\recover the task scheduler? Thanks PaulPaul Glickenhaus

On one of my servers the shortcut Target reads; %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Check the Task Scheduler shortcut target value "%windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s" For Troubleshooting Task Scheduler. Thanks

Believe that's for server 2008 Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

What happens if you try creating and logging on as a new user? (profile corruption) Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Found the problem. Someone changed the registry for the file to go to s:\tasks instead of the default. Restore key and all is good again. Thanks for your responses.Paul Glickenhaus
