Adding a new task is accomplished by modifying the IPSCtrl.ini file. Note: You can add a task to the whisper mode supported list without adding this task to the Run Tasks Now list first. Complete the following procedure to add a new task to the Away Manager whisper mode supported list: 1. Open the IPSCtrl.ini file from the default C:\Windows\system32 folder or the system folder path. 2. Add a new task process name to the list. Each PROCESSNAME value contains an executable file name, 3 (automatic whisper mode), and a process description. 3. Save your changes. The following is an example of the ipsctrl.ini file. 1-4 Away Manager 1.0 Customization Guide

You
can
add
a
task
to
the

Tasks
Now
list
first.
Complete
the
following
procedure
to
add
a
new
task
to
the
Away
Manager
whisper
mode
supported
list:
1.
Open
the

file
from
the
default
C:\Windows\system32
folder
or
the
system
folder
path.
2.
Add
a
new
task
process
name
to

3
(automatic
whisper
mode),
and
a
process
description.
