Task scheduler to detect time zone change or set to run when app run

Hi,

I want to know if it's possible to get the task scheduler to run when an app runs. So far I haven't found a way to do it.

Although I'd like to know how to do this anyway the pressing concern is that one of my apps is changing the time zone everytime I run it.

I have a powershell script which checks that my time zone is correct and if not resets it. But the trigger is the problem. I don't know how to get the trigger to recognise this change and would like some advise as to how I can detect the change (what event am I looking for?)

Alternatively as mentioned above how can I detect the application running and change it. The event 'application' doesn't seem to do it and has only a select bunch of choices non of which seem appropriate.

Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible?

Sorry I meant program not app.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the batch file idea although I'm a little wary of the script looping taking up resources. Not really that adept with powershell but I'll figure it out.

You only need a loop if the program changes the Time Zone over and over while it runs.

If your program only changes the Time Zone once, then your batch file could look like:

program
timeout 10
powershell script

It does so it needs a way to detect when the program terminates then set it back.
Is there a way to get that info when it stops running?

Has the program, (it would be handy to know what it is), created its own task.
You can check via
Controlpanel>admintools>taskScheduler>taskscheduler library,
this lists all non MS tasks.
If its there highlight it and delete.

Alternately create a basic task to run the Windows time service after the program has started.
Same route as above.

The program is Metal Gear. I have no idea why it does this.
