To create a taskpad view in a saved MMC console

  1. Open a saved console in author mode by doing one of the following:

    • Right-click the .msc file, and then click Author.

    • Click Start, click Run, type mmc path\filename.msc/a, and then click OK.

  2. In the console tree, click a snap-in item.

  3. On the Action menu, click New Taskpad View.

  4. Follow the instructions in the New Taskpad View wizard.

  5. If you want to create tasks immediately after you create the taskpad view, select the Start New Task wizard check box in the final screen of the wizard.

Note

  • You can also create a taskpad view in a new console, but you must first add a snap-in to the console.
