Blank Task Scheduler

Ran into this one today too. Someone customized the Task Scheduler in Windows 2008 R2 to remove the Action and View items along the top and then used customize on the Actions Pane to remove the Actions pane itself. Task Scheduler starts with just an empty screen now. Led to the answer from this page, removing a file called tasksched or something like that from the %appdata% path and restarting Task Scheduler did the trick. Stupid users.

RegShot

Used this program today to do a before/after of the Registry to figure out how to make Control Panel always show as a menu. Pretty slick deal.

If you want to do it from a batchfile like I did, use this line below. It takes effect best on next logon.

reg add “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced” /v Start_ShowControlPanel /t reg_dword /d 2 /f

F.lux

Here’s a pretty sweet program for you at-night in-the-dark computer users. It automagically tints your screen around sunset so you’re not staring at bright white in the dead of night. F.lux

Auto-Exec (not the batch file)

Read the reviews and check out the pics. What a fantastically bad idea.
