Ah, but that goes against one of the fundamental requirements for this: It must be automated. The Task Scheduler isn't automated (nor does it provide a scriptable interface).

FWIW, just for the sake of completeness, AT.EXE in Win2K actually adds "special" Scheduled Tasks. If you modify them from Task Scheduler's GUI, they lose their 'AT-ness' (that is, you can no longer manipulate them from AT).
