Scheduling tasks in Windows 7

While working with your computer, no doubt that you wish you could schedule running some application or make the computer do a specific job without you have to stay at computer for hours. For me, I want to shut down the computer automatically at a scheduled time, so that I can sleep without waiting till the computer finish the job. Or if I want computer to remind me something, I wish if there's a way to  schedule a notification.

in Windows 7 you can do those tasks by “Scheduled Tasks”. To locate the scheduled tasks; click ‘Start’ –> Control Panel –> Administrative Tools –> Task Scheduler. You’ll get a similar screen like the below image.
