Creating and Configuring Scheduled Tasks To add text captions to the buttons, click View, point to Toolbar, then choose Text Labels. You can have both options active at the same time-a check mark beside the menu item indicates which view is active. You'll find most of the same toolbar commands in the menus at the top of the Console window, and in shortcut menus that appear when you click a listed task with your right mouse button. A status bar at the bottom of the Console window counts the number of listed tasks. When you select a listed task, the status bar tells you when the task last ran. The status bar also shows a brief description of each toolbar button as you pass your mouse cursor over it. Choose Title Bar or Status Bar from the View menu to display or hide each window element. Using the Console window From the Console window, you can: • Create a new task. Choose New Task from the Task menu, or click in the Console toolbar. A Task Properties dialog box will appear.

Select one of the tasks listed in the Console window, then click in the Console toolbar to display a property page for the VirusScan component that will run the task. How this property page looks depends on which VirusScan component you run. To learn how to choose settings for the VirusScan application, see "Configuring VirusScan application options" on page 208. • Copy a task. Select one of the tasks listed in the Console window, then choose Copy from the Edit menu, or click in the Console toolbar. This copies the task to the Windows clipboard.

Use this feature to copy task settings for use as templates for similar tasks. • Delete a task.
