NoteHKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Task Scheduler5.0
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Prevents users from creating new tasks in Scheduled Tasks.
A value of 1 removes the Add Scheduled Task item that starts the New Task wizard. Also, the system does not respond when users try to move, paste, or drag programs or documents into the Scheduled Tasks folder.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable New Task Creation Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Disable New Task Creation policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The policy is disabled or not configured. The user can create new tasks. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The user cannot create new tasks. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable New Task Creation policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Task Scheduler).
Note
This entry does not prevent administrators of a computer from using At.exe to create new tasks or prevent administrators from submitting tasks from remote computers.
This entry can appear in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If this entry appears in both subtrees, the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE takes precedence over the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
