Delete scheduled tasks with spaces in the task name

[dachammer]

I'm trying to execute a very simple script to delete unwanted scheduled task that has a space in the name. Any help here would be greatly appreciated

ShellExecuteWait ( "schtasks.exe", "/delete /tn "& 'Google' & 'Update' & 'Task' & " /f" , @SW_HIDE ) does not work

ShellExecuteWait ( "schtasks.exe", "/delete /tn "& 'Google Update Task' &" /f " ) does not work

ShellExecuteWait ( "schtasks.exe", "/delete /tn Google Update Task /f ", @SW_HIDE ) does not work

ShellExecuteWait ( "schtasks.exe", "/delete /tn GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA /f ", @SW_HIDE ) This works but doesn't have spaces in the task name.

How about

ShellExecuteWait("schtasks.exe", '/delete /tn "Google Update Task" /f' , @SW_HIDE )

Thanks works perfectly!

"Schtasks /delete /?" shows you an example with spaces.

Try this : ShellExecuteWait("schtasks.exe", "/delete /tn " & '"Google Update Task"' & " /f "), you probably need quotes around the task name because of the spaces.
