How do I make recurrence based on the first full week of a month?

I need a series of dependant tasks to always start the first monday of a
month, so that 'Task1' is monday, 'Task2' is the following thusday, 'Task3'
is wendsday and so on. If I use the recurrence Monthly, Every First
Monday/Thusday/Wendsday of the month, it will only work correctly if the
month starts with a monday. If it starts with eg. a thusday, my tasks comes
in the wrong order. Is there any way to make this work?
 
I honestly don't think Outlook's recurrence can handle this but let me
ponder it a bit more to see if I (or someone else) can come up with
something.
 
Hmmm, haven't tried it (no need) but see if Taskline
(http://www.taskline.com) can handle it.

Gave it a try and Taskline can do a lot of things, for sure, but "Task
constraints are not supported on recurring tasks." Besides, it's a big
'animal' and for my purpose (keeping my calendar free of other tasks and
meetings) it's a little overkill.
