Overview
This code snippet shows how a task handler exe program can be created and registered when the class RScheduler is used to schedule Task Scheduler tasks. The client has to be registered with the scheduler, before any tasks can be scheduled. The registration method is called Register() and it takes two parameters, the filename of program to execute the tasks and the priority which is relative to other clients.
This snippet can be self-signed.

//The root stream of the direct file store contains a 32 bit value, followed
//by the external representations of one or more CScheduledTask objects. The

Postconditions
The client is registered with the scheduler and ready to schedule Task Scheduler tasks. The program ExampleTaskHandler.exe is responsible for running scheduled tasks.
