How to make built-in Windows Scheduler run tasks every second

 For those who come here trying the same thing with the Windows Task Scheduler; It is possible to create multiple triggers for one scheduled task. If you create 59 identical triggers with an offset of 1 second to each other, and schedule the task itself to run every minute, you end up the scheduled task to run every second.
The easiest way to create so many triggers is to create a task with one or two triggers, export it to a text file, duplicate the according lines and re-import it.
This should be a "reasonable" and stable alternative to writing a whole new scheduler.
