Real World Description |
I just think of this as an aid to my memory as I get older
and more forgetful. It's used in conjunction with programs
that like to run on a schedule, such as virus scanners,
backups, defrag utilities, etc. If you can remember every
task that needs to be done without help, disable this
service. |
