Task Scheduler - Run the program at a specified time

Simple instructions on how to create an "Event" on your computer that will run a program, send an e-mail, show you a notification…

With  Task Scheduler, you can also create multiple Events that will run at different times. You can write a reminder and set it to appear on the screen on a specific date. You can also write an email and specify when exactly to send it automatically. Or, if you want, you can set some programs to run at a specific time.

You choose what suits you best, and below are instructions for setting the program to run at a specific time.

  1. Open 'Start' -> 'All Programs' -> 'Accessories' -> 'System Tools' -> 'Task Scheduler' (or 'Scheduled Tasks' for Win XP)
  2. Click 'Create Basic Task...'
  3. Enter the Name and Description of the Action
  4. Select the time interval for repeating the Action
  5. Enter the date and exact time when you want the Action to take place
  6. Choose Action (Start program, Send an email, Display notifications - reminder), I will take as an example "Start a program"
  7. Select the program you want to run (Browse...)
  8. Click Next and you will see the final settings. Now just press Finish again and that's it.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
