Windows Task Creator
--------------------
Instructions:
- Place this script in the same directory as minecraft_server_manager.pyw and StopServer-And-Hibernate.ps1.
- Modify the configuration variables below to set your desired task times.
- Run this script from an elevated PowerShell prompt (Run as Administrator) to create the tasks.
- Start tasks are registered for the currently logged-on user when possible, otherwise they run as SYSTEM.
- By default, existing tasks starting with "MinecraftServerManager" will be removed before new tasks are registered.
