• Pro version (eval) loaded CRAPWARE on my machine!

  georgelehmannJune 25, 2013

  Pros

  Works real nice. Went for the pro version on their 30 day evaluation as my PC times out and needs to be woken-up.

  Cons

  Installation of the PRO version installs at least TWO spyware programs - we-care and something about sweet site. Have to go to control panel look for recently installed programS (there are several of them!) and uninstall them. Oh yes, and then re-set the home page on my Internet browser back to where it was before this whole mess took place.

  Summary

  I would NOT recommend this program to anyone who is not technically savvy and I can't believe CNET says it is free of spyware and viruses.

  Pros

  Many options and manners of using

  Cons

  It takes time to create even a simple task. One click task would be nice.

• Quality product. Interface atrocious!

  son0fhobsApril 28, 2010

  Pros

  Quality product, good features.

  Cons

  Challenging learning curve and I feel like I'm working with a Q-DOS interface.

  Summary

  For some reason the easthetics bother me too much I just don't feel like learning the program let alone using it. But I'm sure if you get over that, you'll agree with everyone else that it's great.

  rubilarOctober 13, 2009

  Pros

  very easy interface, really works

  Cons

  not til now

  Summary

  does what I was trying years with the "windows scheduled tasks" to do. I wanted just to lunch a software automatically every hour, and it looks well in the win function but didnt work for me... (tried in win98 and XP) this software Does IT and well.

• Simple, straight forward, exactly what I wanted.

  ExcelciorOctober 6, 2009

  Pros

  Extremely simple interface, very light on the ram, minimizes to tray on close so you can't accidentally skip a scheduled task.

  Cons

  Interface could have text labels. Icons could be original (for instance, to run a task, you press an unlabeled button with the win 98 'refresh' icon on it).

  Summary

  All in all, I'm very pleased with this program. The interface could be slightly more intuitive, but since I never look at the interface, it really doesn't matter. After all, this program is so reliable that I simply set it up and forget about it. I use it to automate daily backups and start a .pls online radio file at 5 am to wake me up. Great way to automate; which, after all, is what a computer is for, right?

• Crashed my PC - Took days to fix.

  AthleteTOSeptember 26, 2009

  Pros

  Interface seemed like it was going to be easy to use...

  Cons

  ... but when I went to create my first task, clicked save, and BANG.. blue screen of death (in Windows Vista).. took a couple days to recover the computer, couldn't even boot initially.

  Summary

  Install at your own risk!!!!!

• Does What I Need

  DixonAgeeJune 1, 2009

  Pros

  Schedules tasks in XP without requiring user password.

  Cons

  None affecting me.

  Summary

  I have a stand-alone unattended remote computer running XP that requires a regular reboot. In order to have the computer boot up and self-start my apps - I do not use an account password. By doing so - I don't have to deal with a log-in screen. Therefore in the event of a power failure - or routine reboot - the computer simply starts up and begins doing its thing. No login required. I needed to schedule a reboot command in case certan software failed - but the XP scheduler WON'T RUN scheduled tasks without a password - but if I have a password - the computer can't just start - someone has to log-in. Ugh! A catch 22! Enter System Scheduler. I can schedule my reboot without a password - and everything just works. You couldn't ask for more. But wait - aren't reboots part of the paid upgrade? Not necessarily. Just shedule and run the XP program Shutdown.exe - which is the command Windows uses. You'll find it in the System32 folder. Run "Shutdown.exe -?" to see all options. Thanks for a simple solution to a simple problem.
