Description:
This setting prevents you from deleting an existing task in task scheduler. It disables the delete option from the edit menu in the scheduled tasks folder or from right-click menu of a scheduled item. In addition, the system does not respond when you try dragging an existing task from the task scheduler folder. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \task scheduler5.0 does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value task deletion in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify the value to "1" to enable task deletion restriction. However, if you want to get back to the original state and disable restriction, change the value to "0" or delete the added value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
