[Which scheduled tasks are safe to disable?]

Well it doesn't necessarely have to be a list of safe to delete items, in fact I would prefer a list that simply tells me what all the windows default scheduled tasks are doing.

For example some entries mention words like "SystemSoundsService", "FileHistory", "Windows Media Sharing", "Bluetooth".

So what I was thinking is that I always keep system sounds muted anway, I never used the file history, I don't use media sharing and I don't need bluetooth.

It just would be great to actually know what all these schaduled tasks do.

[Which scheduled tasks are safe to disable?]

Is there a list of scheduled tasks that are safe to disable? Or even better a list with information about what each task does?

I'm currently on Windows 8 and when I check the advanced mode in the Task Scheduler list, I get this list:
