Winter,

I've verified this on Win2K SP2.  Interesting. 

I use Perl for system programming on Windows platforms,
particularly for IR and forensics.  The
Win32::TaskScheduler module will completely enumerate
even the hidden (attrib +h) tasks...

I mention this, as I'm putting together a full-blown IR
application that is made up of my scripts, and can be
run from a CD.  This will be included in my upcoming book.
