The original poster also inquires about securing the scheduler on a shared PC; responses clarify that without admin rights, users cannot interfere with Task Scheduler, but with admin rights, it's difficult to restrict access further. Overall, the discussion concludes that pre-task prompts aren't supported and security depends on user permissions.

Solution
There is no built-in feature to prompt before execution of tasks, nor do I know of any product that does that as it wouldn't really make any sense. The task scheduler's purpose is to run tasks triggered by events most often time based. Access to the task scheduler is restricted to administrative users.
