Bug Description

Some programs use the Task Scheduler to launch themselves at start up. These programs may not delete the task when they are removed, leaving a task that tries to start a non-existent program. Could Bleachbit have a feature added where it will scan for and remove scheduled tasks that only have the Start a program action, and are linked to a program or directory that does not exist?

Running BB version: 1.12
Windows: 10 Professional 64bit version 1703

Thank you for the interesting suggestion, but it's not in the foreseeable roadmap. By the way, the wishlist has moved to https://github.com/bleachbit/wishlist . I can see the usefulness, so perhaps someone else can implement this enhancement, or check back in a while later.
