Advanced Task Scheduler Professional is a powerful task scheduler, which allows you to automate all your day-to-day tasks: start programs, scripts and batch files, open documents and web pages, display popup reminders, play sounds, send messages, shut down and restart your computer, establish and close dial-up connections, and much more.
Advanced Task Scheduler offers a full set of scheduling tools that allow you to run scheduled tasks automatically, as a one-off, a specified time after system startup, or minutely to yearly.
Alternatively, set tasks to run via a hotkey, on computer idle, on dial-up connection being established, on user log-on/off, program start/stop, etc.
Users will be able to rely on several popup reminders to prevent them for keep forgetting scheduled tasks or events.
Automatic shutdown feature allows you to leave your computer running and be sure it shuts down at a set time, and a similar feature applies to programs and dial-up networks. Advanced Task Scheduler icons will appear in your system tray, giving you access to all its features via a popup menu, which appears on right clicking. Pressing a hotkey restores Advanced Task Scheduler.
The scheduler can also be launched as a Windows Service and work in the background, enabling all scheduled tasks to run smoothly without taking up any desktop space. This feature means Advanced Task Scheduler can be run even when no user is logged on.
Advanced Task Scheduler can record all executed tasks in a log file or send them straight to your inbox, letting you know exactly what tasks are being executed and when. The log file can also be printed at your convenience.
In addition to all the basic capabilities, Advanced Task Scheduler Professional allows you to encrypt your settings and task list, assign multiple shortcuts and schedules for each task, use login-watch, window-watch, process-watch and file-watch features, run-on-holiday function, randomized time and much more.
