How to find the location of the Scheduled Tasks folder

Question

I have seen references online that state that \'Scheduled Tasks\' in Windows are stored in %SystemRoot%\\Tasks, which I think usually equates to C:\\Windo

Answer 1

Tasks are saved in filesystem AND registry

Tasks are stored in 3 locations: 1 file system location and 2 registry locations.

File system:

C:\Windows\System32\Tasks

Registry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Taskcache\Tasks
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Taskcache\Tree

So, you need to delete a corrupted task in these 3 locations.
