"schtask" is a command line task scheduler like the "at" command. It is documented on the "Help and Support" on my XP system. To verify this open the "Scheduled Tasks" window. Go to the menu item "Help" select "Help and Support Center". From there double click "Schedule Tasks" (it has a little CLOSED book graphic next to it). From there double click "Scheduled Tasks and the At command". Click "related topics" highlighted in blue down at the bottom of the window, select "At". Go down the the bottom of the next window, click "related topics" again, select "Schtasks". According to the documentation it's a very powerful command line task scheduler. Much more powerful than the "at" command. If there is no way to make schtask work, can anyone recommend a command line task scheduler that I can download somewhere for free? Thanks, Bob I don't know what this field means, so I am typing this.
