Disabling task scheduler

Hello all,
Just a quick question - what's a good way to disable a task in task
scheduler? There's a task that runs, and if it fails they want me to diable
it until they can work on it - so right off the bat I'm exactly sure where I
should look for this, if it even exists. Any ideas? Thanks!

I think you can do it...


strComputer = "localhost"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
REM Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from
Win32_Process Where Name = 'msnmsgr.exe'")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from
Win32_Process")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
If MsgBox("Terminate: " & objprocess.name,vbQuestion +
vbYesNo,"Yes")=vbYes then
objProcess.Terminate()
MsgBox("OK")
End if
Next

How is that going to help for disabling a specific scheduled task?
