Task Scheduler - missed tasks

[Peter]

If my computer is turned OFF when a task is scheduled, the task does
not run.
Can I configure a task to run when the computer is turned on (if it
did not run at the last scheduled time) ???

No. The Task Scheduler worked that way in Windows 95 but this has been
changed in newer versions. (Because of that tasks that were scheduled
to run in short intervals were started over and over again if the
computer was turned off for some time.)

There is not a way from within Scheduled Tasks to configure a missed task to
run at the next system startup. Tasks that fail to run because the computer
is off at the appointed hour are recorded as missed tasks. You can be
notified about missed tasks by choosing Notify Me Of Missed Tasks from the
Scheduled Tasks folder's Advanced menu. If you miss a task because your
computer is off, a message to that affect will appear at your next logon.
