This setting disables the ability to manually execute a pre-scheduled task. However, tasks will continue to run automatically as scheduled. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys \windows\task scheduler5.0 does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value execution in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify the value to "1" to enable restriction. However, if you want to get back to the original state and disable restriction, change the value to "0". The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
