Problem with Task Scheduler
New to Win7. This is the first time I have tried to use it and I'm having a problem with Task Scheduler.

I went into Task Scheduler.
I clicked Action> Create Task
I filled in all the necessary information (as I understood it).
I can't find anything that says my task is set to run.
I can't find my task listed anywhere so I can recheck its properties.

So, figuring my task didn't "take", I attempted to do it again.
I clicked Action> Create Basic Task
I filled in all the necessary information, as I understood it.
The system said it could not create the task because a task with that name already exists.

So, where is it?
How can I check its properties?

Task manager in Win 7 looks like this



You should be able to see your tasks in the circled box. Make sure you have the right time frame as well.

I believe you should be able to list them from the command line just like you could with XP and Vista.
