For instance you may change the field Schedule Task to the value weekly. c Using the Advanced button you may set a task to repeat several times. By activating the Show Multiple Schedules checkbox at the bottom of the tab, you can build complex schedules with different frequencies. d In the Settings Tab, uncheck the checkbox titled Delete the scheduled task when finished. This ensures the task definition is not deleted after the first activation. e Click OK to validate the parameters you have just entered. [. . . ] This completes the settings for a recurrent task.
