Looking for code to add to my program that will add it to Windows Scheduler

Question

I have a small program that I would like to run automatically. I figure the best way to do this is to add it to the Windows Scheduler. I'd like to be able to run my program once, and in it have it check to see if it is already added in the Scheduler, and if not, add it.

So i need code to:

Check Scheduler for a task with the name I give in the code
Add my program to Scheduler if it isn't there

The linked `TaskScheduler` class refers to the internal .NET task scheduler which is related to threading. This task scheduler has nothing to do with the Windows task scheduler. – Ruud Jan 02 '14 at 11:00
