Task Scheduler is weird

Hi All,

I'm running Vista X64 Ultimate RTM and I have an "issue" with the Task
Scheduler. In XP I could scheduled a task to run every 12 hours, and it was
very intuitive, but in Vista I find that I have to enter the number of
minutes I want and it will convert to hours. In the example above I have to
enter 720 to get a task to (hopefully) execute every 12 hours. I must be
missing something.

Re: Task Scheduler is weird

I guess you can simply enter "12 hours" into "Repeat task every:" field
found in trigger properties on the Triggers tab of the task.
