Hi,
I have this query from very long time...
Actually I want to write a code that would run exactly after a certain time period. Means the program should run after 3 hrs or 5 hours. I am completely blank that how would the program communicate with the windows time. I want to write this code in Batch or Visual basic. And I think VB would be more preferable.

VB would be fine, it has time and date functions built in. Look up the Time, Date and Now functions and the Timer function in the VB help files.
It is so easy it would take longer to look it up than actually write the code.
