Missing Browse button in Schedule Task wizard

This is a bit perplexing.

If I run the schedule tasks wizard and am trying to schedule a task
that is not in the list, there is no browse button to click to choose
something else.
Is this something to do with access policies, all the documentation I
can find says that there should be a browse button.

I also don't get a browse button on my windows XP machine either.

The machines are all part of a domain. I have administrator rights on
the machines, but there is no browse button available.

I have been able to create a task using the schtasks.exe on my XP
machine. Is there a similar command in Windows 2000.

Some guidance would be much appreciated.
 
Hi Peter,

"Prohibit Browse" is one of the policies that Administrators can set using the Group
Policy Editor. If this policy is enabled it removes the Browse button from the
Schedule Task wizard and from the Task tab of the properties dialog box for a task.
Since your computer is part of a corporate network I suggest that you discuss this
issue with your network administrator.
