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:
http://www.magicjacksupport.com/post29556.html#29556
to get magicJack working on your computer before setting up to start at boot using Task Scheduler.
See Warnings at the bottom.
