To keep it short, it would be interesting to allow users to tweak which tasks are allowed to run in the background, in a similar fashion that the built-in Task Scheduler application in Windows allows you to do just that.

Thanks.
 
Deleting a task isn't hard. But changing or adding a task is near impossible, because it's protected by a security hash.
Otherwise you could skip schtasks, and directly hack the System32\Tasks folder.

This part is no fun to decipher :rolleyes:

correct. it might aswell be in klingon for all the sense the hex's make to me.
previously the most reliable way i found to do it all live was with a command file, disable, delete, delete from registry then delete folders, all with a 1 second timeout between every command. slow but reliable.
