Can't Find Scheduled Task

[JamesJ]

I posted this question in the Google help forum but haven't gotten a reply.
Even though I have the Google Update Service disabled in services it still
shows in Task Manager's Processes tab and appears to be running.
I don't see the file in any startup place in Vista Basic or in the Startup
folder in my Start Menu.
I can't find it in Scheduled Tasks
Is there anywhere else I might look to disable this annoying service?

Thanks,
James

It's in Scheduled Tasks. Click Task Scheduler Library in the tree and you'll
see it in the middle pane.

C:\Windows\Tasks is where it is located

In Vista Basic sp2 I see no Scheduled Tasks.
I do see Task Scheduler in Administrator Tools.
I looked in Task Scheduler and couldn't find it.

I told you how to find it in Task Scheduler.

 

[JamesJ]

I've been looking in there half the day and I ddn't see it.
Anyway, I uninstalled Google Earth and had to manually delete the folder in
explorer.

Thanks,

Well if you read what I said you'd find it. What's the point of posting if
you intend to ignore responses.

 

[JamesJ]

Where exactly do I find 'Scheduled Tasks'?

From my first post
Click Task Scheduler Library in the tree and you'll
see it in the middle pane.

Note it is not under any category.

 

[JamesJ]

That's what I thought.
I went through every item in the Task Scheduler Library and I didn't see any
Scheduled Task for Google Update.

Now go where I told you. Task Scheduler (Local) - Task Scheduler Library and
it's in the middle pane with all other non caterogised tasks.

I see the Tasks there but there's no way to disable them.

I guess my question here is why does this service run
even when I have it disabled in Services??

Right click and choose Disable

I get no context menu when I right click on it.

A trick that often works for software that doesn't cleanly UNinstall is
to...install it again! When its installer runs, it (re)creates the
necessary Registry entries, plus any subsidiary files that the unsuccessful
uninstall may have messed up.

Reboot

Try to remove it with Revo Uninstaller, then run CCleaner's.

<http://www.revouninstaller.com/>

Use the REVO uninstaller (fourth/last option).

Also, try in Tools -> Optimization -. Junk Files Cleaner – Scan -(Wait for
it.)- and Delete

Also, Tools -> Tracks Cleaner, for
Browser Cleaner
Microsoft Office Cleaner
Windows Cleaner
Evidence Remover
Unrecoverable Remover

Reboot

<http://www.ccleaner.com>
Note, uncheck Yahoos Toolbar


Download the basic version via
<http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>
The basic version does not contain the disgusted Toolbar
