Scheduled Task Syntax

[Larry]

Hi, I use Task Scheduler as a "reminder" service. I use it to open a Notepad
file, by having it run: "C:\Documents and Settings\Larry\My
Documents\TaskSchedulerReminder.txt". I noticed today (in the Task Scheduler
log) that the task is running for over 15 minutes:

"NOTEPAD reminder.job" (TaskSchedulerReminder.txt)
Started 8/5/2006 12:55:01 PM
"NOTEPAD reminder.job" (TaskSchedulerReminder.txt)
Finished 8/5/2006 1:16:21 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0)."

It seems to me the task should complete in a few seconds, why's it running
for so long? Should I modify my Run statement somehow so that it runs and
closes immediately? TIA.
