Scheduling a task

Task Scheduler automates the frequency with which QuickClean
or Disk Defragmenter runs on your computer. For example, you
can schedule a QuickClean task to empty your Recycle Bin every
Sunday at 9:00 P.M. or a Disk Defragmenter task to defragment
your computer's hard drive on the last day of every month. You
can create, modify, or delete a task at any time. You must be
logged in to your computer for a scheduled task to run. If a task
does not run for any reason, it will be rescheduled five minutes
after you log in again.
