I was just wondering if NT can somehow launch an executable everyday at a certain time. Hopefully it's possible. I'd appreciate any help. Frank
 
Frank,

You can use the AT command or use Scheduled Tasks (under My Computer, if you choose to install it from Internet Explorer).
 
Hi,

Yes you can launch any executable you want, scheduling it when you want. There is a DOS program (run as NT Service) call 'at'.

This is a scheduling program, just type the command :
at /?

in a DOS Command. Then you will see the help. For your needs, type :

at 22:00 /every:monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday '[path_of_the_executable]'

DOwnload a copy of winat
This is a gui front end to 'AT' and is much more friendly to configure.
