# Point to where the task is stored in the task scheduler. The opening \ points to what the 
# Task Scheduler MSC interface names "Task Scheduler Library": the root.

# Specify the name of the scheduled task. It has no extension. Copy the name from the MSC if needed.
$_name = "Scheduled-Task-Name";
