Task Scheduler

[shartman]

Can anyone tell me how to setup task scheduler to run tasks that need
user-input to run w/ pre-determined commands. (i.e. disk cleanup, 1x a month
with specific options selected)

What are you using for Disk Cleanup? What program? Try entering
"<program> /?" at a command prompt.

Cheers,

I was planning on using the standard Disk Cleanup Function in Win2k System
Tools. The problem is the GUI interface pops up and needs to know what
drive and what options ot run. Are there any switches you know about to
select specific options..i.e. cleanup C drive, delete recycled bin etc...

thx

Ah right. In XP the program is "cleanmgr" and it doesn't seem to
recognise command line parameters.

The command line versions normally have parameters that correspond
with the settings in the GUI, and you can find out what they are by
running the command with the switch "/?". The output is a bit terse
though!

Sorry, now I see the problem, but unfortunately I don't have solution.
I once used a "macro" tool that could script the entry of the correct
paramters into a GUI, so I suppose there may be such a thing that
could help you in this case.

Cheers,
