setup a schedule to start an application of your choice every time you logon

(Proof of creating a scheduled task can be found on the observation sheet)

Many of us use scheduled tasks this is because it saves us time having to open the same program over and over again each time we log on. By adding a program to scheduled tasks you can have tools such as disk cleanup, or virus scan.

There are many more benefits than those above such as once the task has been set it will continue to do it everytime you log on. However you need to control the ammount of tasks you set up to run or it can seriously hault your computers performance for example if you choose high CPU programs such as defrag, virus scan and disk clean up to start on log in the computer will be extremley slow and the RAM may not be able to run anything else as it cant cope with the ammount of CPU beeing used at once.

Below is an example of begining to setup a task.
