How to auto enable a scheduler job?

[Pal]

I have a scheduled job that runs every two minutes from
9am to 6pm. Some times I have to disable the job around
5:30pm to enable the EOD processing to start immediately.
So, after the EOD I have to manually enable the scheduler
job before leaving home at about 6:30pm. If I forget this
step, the job will not start in the morning 9am. How to
automate to enable the scheduler job? Is it possible to
create another scheduler job to make this job enabled at
6:30pm?

Speaking of, why isn't ftp.microsoft.com accepting connections? Is there
another site?

You can schedule a task's start time and end time from
the "Scheduled Task" version 4.71.2195.6704 (mstask.exe),
I think this is the most recent version. In your case,
you can schedule it from 9am to 6pm and runs every two
minutes in the "Scheduled tasks".

Is that the only task run by the scheduler during that time?
If so, you can write a vbscript to pause the scheduler service,
sleep for an hour or so, then continue the service.

Forced an IP change and now I can get in. I'm not the only on affected.
Several other Verizon usbscribers were too but it was inconsistent as to
their location.
