Task scheduler: run 1 tasks 4 times a day

Question

It seems like I have to add 4 tasks to run the same job at 9am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm. Is there a way to run the same job 4 times with 1 task?

If yes, how do I configure that.

Answer 1

(I'll assume you are using Win 7). In the Create Task dialog, click the Triggers tab. Then click the New button. In the New Trigger dialog, you will see an Advanced Settings section. It has a Repeat Task area. You can put a checkmark in that box and choose a preset value or type your own---e.g. 4 hours or 45 minutes.

Answer 2

It looks like you can add mulitple triggers for a task setting a different time for each trigger. Go back to your task, right click and pick properties. On the "Triggers" tab you can add more tirggers.
