taskschd.msc is available in Windows Vista and later.

I could have sworn I'd seen a little task scheduler GUI like you're talking about prior to Vista, but maybe I was thinking of the "Add Scheduled Task" wizard.

You might have to settle for opening the scheduled tasks explorer with this command:

control schedtasks

I couldn't find any way to launch the "Add Scheduled Task" wizard from the command line, unfortunately (there has to be a way!)
