Newbie Task Manager 1.81

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This powerful task scheduler assumes the burden of repetitive computer tasks, though the program name isn't indicative of the required user level. Newbie Task Manager's functional interface comes with a fairly comprehensive listing of actions to automate. These preloaded sample tasks cover routine operations such as starting and stopping programs, auto log-ons/log-offs, opening the CD-ROM, initiating system backups, and triggering e-mails and reminder messages. Events can be set up to run by a specific time or in the event of a specific action such as a hot key press or at system log-on. Advanced users can effortlessly create new tasks, schedule running times, define other action parameters, and password-protect staged events. Although inexperienced users can feel their ways around Newbie Task Manager, considering the preloaded tasks mentioned we think the program could benefit from a task-creation wizard to complement its Help file. Power users with programming expertise and cyclic system tasks will benefit the most from this effective application.
