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.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1.

iPad 3 and 3D hologram

You've probably seen the concept for the iPhone 5, now you can also see the iPad 3 made by the same company, Aatma Studio. Certainly one of the options that I believe everyone will like is the 3D hologram and the ability to merge multiple iPads into one (which is also shown in the clip below).
