MagicJack Task Scheduler Setup in Windows 7 Beta

by tim on Jan.17, 2009, under random thoughts

I’m posting an email that my Dad forwarded to me with the steps for automatically starting MagicJack in Windows 7 Beta. I don’t use Blackjack, but I’m sure this may be of benefit to others that do.

__________________________________________________________________________

How to use the Windows 7 "Task Scheduler" to automatically start MagicJack after booting up or a Restart. The "Task Scheduler" is found in the "Administrative Tools" Folder.

Notes:

Use <Your_magicJack_Drive_Letter> in place of the “K:\” in the example below.

Complete steps found at:

“How-2 get MAGICJACK on WINDOWS 7 | Unofficial magicJack forum” at link:

to get magicJack working on your computer before setting up to start at boot using Task Scheduler.

Do not use with “MagicBlock”, caused repeated Blue Screen Crashes during testing!!!

Do start a second occurrence of MagicJack, it will trash the quality.
