Hi,
Does anyone know where Task Scheduler toggles the "Show Hidden Tasks" ? I tried to see if i could locate it with procmon but i can't see it does it in the registry.
Somehow "Show Hidden Tasks" is enable by default. I want it to be disable by default.

I know where to do it through the GUI..
I want to know if it is set in registry, hence i want to change the "Show Hidden Tasks" from a GPO. Since this setting is not present in GPO, i need the registry key or the config file where it may track the behavior.

Here's a general tip for discovering such things:
1. Run regedit and right-click on Computer at the top, then export the entire registry to a .reg file.
2. Change the setting.
3. Repeat step 1 again and export to a different .reg file.
4. Use a text file comparison tool to determine what's changed between the before and after .reg files.
Since some things may have changed for unrelated reasons, you may have to use a bit of intuition, but if you get the task done fairly quickly and without doing much in between, usually the number of changes are minimal and the actual setting you seek
is obvious.
