Program to run other program once a day?

I had a DOS utility that I used in batch files and that run other
programs only once a day (or other interval). Unfortunately, it does
not work on XPpro. So, I'm looking for a similar windows console
utility. After searching google, I only found one program, called
"date_run" which is no longer available. Any suggestions? I'm not
looking for a scheduler type program (there are several of those) but
for something that can be used in a script/batch, i.e., a program that
terminates after it runs.

In xp the dos command AT is still aviable:
Startmenu > Run...
Type CMD <enter>
Type AT /? <enter>
You'll see the parameters you can add.

The command is
AT [\\computername] Time[/INTERACTIVE][ /EVERY:date[,...] |
/NEXT:date[,...]] command
