Description
Could you look at adding a new context menu item, to add selected files or directories to a new scheduled task.
This would allow for a second and hopefully quicker way to add scheduled tasks as you discover files / directories that need erasing on a regular basis.

I would be inclined to opt for the context menu route, I find drag and drop to be a little cumbersome as you either have to resize windows to allow a clean drag and drop or wait for windows to take focus as you drag. With the context menu it's at most 3 clicks away.

Wait, add a new task? You just need to right-click > Eraser > Erase, then under Options change the schedule to Run Immediately (or recurring/whatever)

It would be nice to have the option to not have to erase the selected file / directory just to add as a scheduled task. For example I have an item that I need now but want to quickly set up a scheduled task to erase later.
Maybe a better approach is to allow dropping of task items into the Edit Task dialog. What do you think?
