Where the scheduled task are stored?
I need to transfer them from one computer to the other.
Thanks,

Read this and see if it will help. I read about the location and files
(in c:\windows\tasks), but don't know if they can be transferred.

Scheduled tasks are stored in the Task Scheduler Library. Task Scheduler
displays tasks created by you or other users when you select the Task
Scheduler Library node in the left pane. In the Task Scheduler Library
you'll find system tasks under Microsoft\Windows and Microsoft\Windows
Defender.

Will the FAST wizard move them as settings?

I stand to be corrected, but I don't think that you can move Scheduled
Task from one computer to another, scheduled tasks are assigned security
descriptors (based on the user SIDs) and moving the tasks to a different
computer breaks the descriptors.

I loaded FASTW and it did not have an option for Scheduled Tasks.

Thank you.
In that case, if I cannot copy them into new computer, can I have at least
to have a look at them so I can type them again?
The problem is I do not have old Windows running, but I do have the old
harddrive where the tasks are burried somewhere in it.

Well, I did a bit more searching and according to the information here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb742547.aspx you can:

"When you can access the target computer's Tasks folder, you can drag or
copy a task from your computer to the remote machine.

If you can't access the remote computer's Tasks folder, you can place
the job outside the \%systemroot% folder on the target computer. Then,
you can let that machine's user move the file into the Tasks folder.

You can email a task file (i.e., taskname.job) as a standard email
attachment. The recipient can then drag or copy the file to the target
computer's Tasks folder."

So according to the information there you should be able to copy the
tasks to another computer, try copying them from the old drive to the
new drive's task folder and see if it works. Let us know how you make out!

Thank you. That is getting more interesting.
On my old drive in Windows\Taks folder I do not see any of my old tasks (I
had about 5 tasks in old Windows) but I see one new task created by Norton
apparently during the NAV installation in my new Windows (there is exactly
the same task with the same date created by Norton in my new Windows!).
