The
Shreveport E-Announcements are posted daily at the following website:

Wouldn’t
it be nice to have an easy way to bring up these daily changing announcements
other than relying on memory? There
are a couple of things you can do.
Using Task Scheduler
If
you are running Windows 98, 2000, or XP, there is an option in Control Panel
called Scheduled Tasks. You can use
this feature to schedule a time daily to automatically launch the website
in your Internet Explorer.

When the Scheduled Tasks
Wizard appears, click Next. Note: it may take a minute or so for the next
screen to appear, making it seem as though the computer has locked up. Be patient.

Scroll through the list of
programs that appear until you have located Internet Explorer.
Click once on IE to select it and then choose Next

We recommend changing the name to SHV E-Announcements to better identify
it among any other tasks you may have scheduled to run.

daily, that is the option you should choose. Click Next

this task to run that is most convenient for you and click Next.

Check the box labeled “Open
advanced properties for this task when I click finish” and then click Finish

When the advanced properties
box opens, click at the end of the RUN line in order to place your cursor there. Press the spacebar to create a space between
the last letter of the command already listed and what you type. Type the following:
