Question : Vista:  How can I get the Task Scheduler in Vista to run a BATCH file (Myproc.BAT)?

I have this nice BATCH file (myproc.BAT) that I run under XP.  Actually I have a scheduled task that runs it every night.

The Task Scheduler under Vista has changed and it seems to want .XML files, not .BAT files.

Thanks.

I haven't tried the new Vista Task Scheduler yet, but having just browsed a few pages about it, it sounds like a very versatile (and thus fairly complex) tool.  But this page has the basics:

Windows Help and How-to: Schedule a task

And I would expect in step 5 of that page, where it says:

5.  To schedule a program to start automatically, click Start a program, and then click Next.
 
6.  Click Browse to find the program you want to start, and then click Next.
 
you should be able to browse to your batch file.
