Simple scheduler for win2k?

I know I can use soon.exe but it's messy to use. Anyone know of a simple
scheduler that can start a program, e.g. ad-aware, at a given time each
week.

TIA

What about the 'dos' command AT?

go to the start menu --> run
type "CMD" (CMD is like the 'command'-command, but with a few more options)
(without the ")
and press the <Enter> key
the command "at /?"gives you a list with options

to test it, you could give the command
at 20:22 /interative "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Ad-aware.exe"

where 20:22 is a time in the future
/interactive means it will be run at the desktop with the permissions of the
current user
at the end of the command, you put the command you want to execute.

You can also repeat a command every x days or every 17th day of a month

I know it is not a fancy interface, but it is deliverd with all windows NT
versions, from NT 3.51 to Windows 2003, even XP Home has the at command.
