SYMPTOMS
When you use the task scheduler in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, some scheduled tasks may not run.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you schedule a task to run within one minute of the time you schedule the task. NOTE: The task scheduler in Internet Explorer 5 runs once a minute to run scheduled tasks that are in the queue for that time. If you schedule a task after the start of a minute, the task is queued to run at that time the next day.
