TASK SCHEDULER disappeared from list of services.

[Georges V]

I use Windows-XP PRO (english version). But search engines tell us that this
service has been giving problems to many users with alsmost every Windows
version. A specific error code is 0x80041315 mentioned very often and this
is also the case here.

I discovered that one registry key was missing :
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule.

I have no recent backup of the registry.
I found this key on internet at several websites, each of them showing the
same contents, in a basic presentation.

I imported a new key to replace the missing one in the register, using
following FILE.reg. This imported the key with succes to the register:

=======================FILE.reg=========================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule]
"Start"=dword:00000002
=====================================================


Then I exported the newly created key.
As you can see in the exported key, a new subkey "Enum" had been added by
Windows.
This a good sign because the created key was been recognized by the system

==================Exported Key "Schedule"===================
Key Name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule
Class Name: <NO CLASS>
Last Write Time: 2/26/2010 - 4:14 PM
Value 0
Name: Start
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x2


Key Name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule\Enum
Class Name: <NO CLASS>
Last Write Time: 2/26/2010 - 4:14 PM
Value 0
Name: 0
Type: REG_SZ
Data: Root\LEGACY_SCHEDULE\0000

Value 1
Name: Count
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x1

Value 2
Name: NextInstance
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x1
==============End of Exported Key "Schedule"==================


However this action is not sufficient to make the Task Scheduler
appear back again on the list of the other Services.
As long as this service is not back on the list, I cannot make it start.

I welcome any advice. Thank you.
