Execute an EXE every 5 seconds?

[Kenny100]

Hi Folks

I've got a little C# executable (copy.exe) that copies files from one directory to another. I was wondering if it is possible to write another EXE that could sit in the Windows startup folder and execute copy.exe every 5 seconds. How could I do this?

Cheers,
Kenny.

Kenny,

If I was you I would convert the copy.exe code into a service, you would only need the one application. The wizard in .Net for creating a C# service is pretty good and you can also find some simple sample files online.

Or, you run the command-line AT command (on Windows NT, 2000). XP has some GUI-based way of setting recurring tasks, but I don't have it loaded on my machine.
