Description:
The advanced properties section stores the location to run the scheduled task. Normally, you can change the location by browsing the path. By using this tweak you can restrict changes to the existing path. In addition, it removes the browse button from the advanced properties dialog box. 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 allow browse 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". Note: you can create a new task by pasting or dragging any program into the scheduled tasks folder.
