Default Deleting scheduled task on Vista

Hey all,

I made a couple of scheduled tasks (using the standard windows thing) a couple of weeks back as a test - both set as messages to pop up whenever I log on..

This is now incredibly annoying.. especially because the message reads something to do with:

"Complex systems have determined you are an unauthorised user and an electronic alert has been sent to the police, remove yourself from this computer immediatly."

I let my brother use my computer for some homework yesterday, and he turned it on and freaked


But its annoying me as well and I just want to delete them.. Call me dum but I can't work out how!!

Please help!!

Default Deleting scheduled task on Vista

Here
  1. From the Start menu, click on My Computer
  2. Under Hard Disk Drives, click on Local Disk (C:)
  3. Double-click the Windows folder
  4. Double-click the Tasks folder
The folder will contain a list of tasks you have scheduled to run automatically. Simply click a shortcut and press delete to delete the scheduled task if you no longer need it.

The folder only contains the task "Check for updates" and a .txt containing a list of scheduled tasks. Any more ideas?
