Entries for JOB file type association

[Will]

In Folder Options > File Types, I have got no entry or association for
the .JOB file type (this is for the scheduler).

Maybe this is why my XP schedular cannot make new entries.

What should I have as the association for .JOB?

Associations are useful when you want to double-click
a file and expect Windows to know what to do with it.
In the case of Task Scheduler files this does not apply
because there is no point in clicking a task file. If you
cannot schedule new tasks then the problem lies elsewhere,
perhaps in the permission structure of the folder
c:\windows\tasks, or because you are not logged on
as administrator.
