How can i create either a program or an automated task.?

Answer 1

You setup automated tasks under 'Scheduled Tasks' located in the Control Panel.

You can tell your computer to run any program at any time, but the most useful scheduled tasks are the ones that perform an action without any user intervention. An example would be a program that deleted all files located in your C:\Windows\Temp directory. You can create your own task using Visual Basic to create an executable file (.exe) or a script file (.vbs), but that requires some programming knowledge.

Answer 2

create a batch file or script.
`this is sometimes as simple as a list of commands
Next if you want it to run everytime you login, put a link to the batch file in the start directory.
if you want the batch file to run at a preset time, use the scheduled tasks function.

Obviously, if you want to schedule a task for a certain time, the computer must be on at that time. Some computers have a bios function that allow them to "Wake up" at a certain time. If you use this feature, set the wakeup time for 15 or 20 minutes before the batch file needs to run.

Answer 3

To automate a task, use Scheduler in Windows
