   To change a time window	In the right pane, double-click the schedule you want to change. The Change Schedule dialog box appears.

4. Click the Start Window tab.
5. To change the increments available for selecting start times or end times, change the value in the Resolution field. You can choose 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes. For example, a resolution of 10 minutes allows time window adjustments by 10-minute increments.
6. To indicate the opening of the time window, do the following:

   Drag your cursor in the time table	Click the day and time when you'd like the window to start and drag it to the day and time when you'd like the window to close.
