[Large Win7] Why do you have to worry about other software during timing operation

        Xiao Zhang is a white-collar worker. He is a busy man in the company. Every day, there are a lot of work waiting for him to do. However, sometimes when you get busy with this, you will forget another thing. This is not a good thing, so Xiao Zhang is tempted to ask the company's network management to help get a reminder tool, so that it always reminds himself what to do.

I didn’t expect Xiao Wang, a network administrator, to hear Xiao Zhang’s appeal, and smiled and said, “Our company recently deployed Windows 7 with a good reminder and automatic running tool---plan task program With it, you can fully meet your requirements. It can have the function of reminding and running the program automatically. I will give you a demo."

Speaking, Xiao Wang opened the control panel of Windows7, then entered the management tool, opened the task scheduler, and a relatively simple operation interface was displayed in front of the two.

Xiao Wang said "For example, you want the system to open your Excel document at 9:00, so that you can do the statistics of the day, you can do this ".

Click "Create Basic Task" on the right side of "Scheduled Task Program", it will open "Create Basic Task Wizard", fill in the name and description of the scheduled task in the first step, of course, this can be filled as long as I can figure it out.

In the second step, select the time/period at which the task starts. For example, if you need to perform tasks every day, choose "Daily". Then choose when to start the task automatically every day, and also set the interval period.

The next step is to select what to do when the time trigger condition is met. Here we select "starting program".

In the following step, select "Browse" to find and select the document you want to open, or it can be a program (for example, you can select QQ.exe in the QQ installation directory, You can open QQ at regular intervals.

And, for example, if you don't want to work too late, you can fill in "shutdown" in the "program" and "/s /f /t 120" in the "add parameters" (parameters) S is to turn off the computer operation. The parameter f is to force the application to close; the number of seconds after the parameter t is turned off after a few seconds, then the system will shut down the computer at the time you specify.

Confirm this plan in the last step If the task is set correctly, you can complete the wizard after confirming that there is no problem.

For example, if you want to have a meeting at 10:00 in the morning, you can repeat the above steps, just select "once" in the "trigger"; of course, 10 minutes in advance to remind you to choose the day's 9:50; "Operation" select "Show Message"; then fill in the message that needs to be prompted, such as "10 o'clock meeting". Upon completion, you will receive a pop-up reminder at 9:50 on the same day.

Of course, the "Scheduled Task Program" can also help users send emails with attachments within a specified time However, you need to fill in a valid smtp server address.

After reading Xiao Wang’s demo, Xiao Zhang suddenly realized that the tools he wanted to find were already included in Windows 7, and they were quite easy to use. Having said that, recently, the company's newly deployed Win7 Ultimate Edition is really more and more convenient. The function is so powerful, and the operation is much more convenient and faster than the old system. It is necessary to upgrade the Windows XP to Windows7.
