Yes  the GUI is available in XP   I can get the list of scheduled tasks  but not the GUI  to open with the following command   control exe  schedtasks   Then you can use the wizard to add a new scheduled task  for example   In XP  you can find the Scheduler GUI from within Windows Help if you search for  Scheduled Tasks  then click on  Step by Step instructions  and open the scheduler GUI   Clicking on the last link executes the following command  which likely could be translatedinto something that would open the Scheduler GUI from the command line   Does anyone know how   ms-its C  WINDOWS Help mstask chm   EXEC  control exe  schedtasks CHM ntshared chm FILE alt url windows component htm

You can make a new shortcut to   control schedtasks   Name it something easy like  tsks lnk  and then save it in c  windows system32   You can now press Windows Key   R  then type  tsks  and press Enter and voila   No mouse necessary at that point  Or in Windows Vista 7 2008  just press Windows Key  then type  tsks  and press Enter
