Scheduled Task

I'm having various problems with setting up scheduled tasks on my new
XP Pro PC, but I'll keep them to individual posts,

One quirk that puzzles me is this r-click option to 'End Task'. It's
greyed out for all but one of my tasks. That simply runs Firefox with
a link to a weather forecast. But it has RUN permanently greyed. If I
use End Task, that closes Firefox itself (badly, leaving it in Task
Mgr).

Yet for a similar task, to visit BBC News, the 'End Task' command
remains greyed at all times. That's what I'd expect, as the task is
just equivalent to clicking a URL. So the concept of 'ending' that
doesn't make sense.

Anyone have any thoughts/insights please?
