    I am in the process of familiarizing myself with the Task Scheduler gui feature running under my Windows Vista Home Basic operating system and seem to be able to fire up any program I want having also tried a variety of triggers. My question is: Is there a gui way (within Task Scheduler) to communicate with a program after it begins to execute. For example lets just say I have Task Scheduler start up FreeCell every evening at 7:00pm. But lets say that I want to play the particular game #47. If I were using my own fingers that would require pressing "F3" then entering "47" then hitting the "enter" key. Is there a way to string those commands in order? I’m not quite ready to get into VBScript yet. Thanks for any help and please forgive any breaches of etiquette I may have committed. I’m brand new to forums.

    No, AFAIK there isn't an option in Task Scheduler to do this.

    Thanks Arie for the feedback. Do you suppose I could do this sort of thing if I took up VBScript??

    Well, Thanks for your interest just the same Arie, I'll let you know if I ever figure out how to do it. Rich.
