Where does task scheduler store its files in windows server 2008?
2 Answers
Task information is stored in %WINDIR%\System32\Tasks
(or C:\Windows\System32\Tasks
). They appear to be stored as a single file per task, in an XML type format.
They are then referenced from the registry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache
I don't know about 2008, but 2003 stores them in %WINDIR%\Tasks
. If you open the properties on a scheduled task, the full path is listed right at the top of the window.

They probably moved it to a "shell folder". Is there an entry for it in the registry path
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
(or "User Shell Folders") under local machine or current user? Have you tried searching your drive for.job
files? Nov 26, 2009 at 9:22
