Friendly Scheduler is a task scheduler with intuitive user interface and extended set of functions. With this application, you can bind tasks to additional events, such as pressing keyboard shortcuts, connecting to the Internet, plugging USB Stick and others. This application is an extension for Windows Task Scheduler, and therefore it allows working with existing Windows tasks.
