Advantages of System-Scheduler over Windows Task Scheduler

  • Names of the Tasks can be changed
  • Tasks can be duplicated
  • Backup of all Tasks alltogether to an INI-File
  • Restore of all Tasks alltogether from an INI-File
  • Export of all Tasks to a CSV-file
  • Same professional time scheduling as the Windows Task Scheduler e.g. every third sunday of each month

Disadvantages of System-Scheduler compared with Windows Task Scheduler

  • System-Scheduler has only an English User interface
  • also not portable available (as Windows Task Scheduler), so you also need admin-rights for installing it the best portable alternative is the Kana Reminder, but the Kana Reminder is not able to schedule a task every third sunday of each month, only on sunday every 3 (not 4) weeks

I'd like something that stops programs from adding themselves to task schedule. (typically for updates)
