Task Management window
Why do you keep scrolling the Task Management window?
I click on one of the lines to initiate an operation and before I can do so, you scroll the window! Then, to get back to where I was is very time-consuming and annoying. Whenever I try to scroll the window myself, whether with the mouse or the slider bar on the right, it takes a very long time before anything happens.
Why would you internally scroll this window at all? It should be left to the user where he wishes to look at these tasks.
William,
I believe one reason why a user did not respond to your question is that they were surprised and unsure as to how you might be using the large number of tasks listed. Most of us just have a very few tasks even though we do daily/weekly/monthly backups. With the small number of tasks used, the scrolling has not even been noticeable. If we want to run a previous unscheduled task, we simply right click on the task and choose the start option.
Ilya,
Thank you for your response.
Grover;
Thank you for your response. I currently have 28 unscheduled tasks because:
1. I wish to initiate Tasks when I want to, rather than on a fixed schedule.
2. For each Partition on my hard drive (currently 7), I wish to maintain 4 backup copies (on a removable hard drive).
A quick trip to this site:

might help you to understand.

Hi William,
Thank you for the explanation. If you were to implement the CHAIN2GEN helper program, you could achieve the same (plus more) using only 1 task per partition. Each task could maintain whatever number of backups sets you wish for each partition. . If interested, check item 3A and 3B in my signature index below.
