For example, if you use a financial program on a specific day each month, you can schedule a task that opens the program automatically, so you don't risk forgetting to open it yourself. If you use a specific program regularly, you can use the Task Scheduler Wizard to create a task that opens the program for you automatically according to the schedule you choose.
