The Microsoft Task Scheduler is part of your Windows system. It "hides" in the "Control Panel" folder, which is located in the "My Computer" folder on your desktop.
By using Task Scheduler, you can schedule tasks such as iOpus iMacros or system tools like the Disk Defragmenter to run at a defined time that is most convenient for you. The Task Scheduler starts each time you start Windows and runs in the background, checking if any scheduled task is due. With Task Scheduler, you can schedule a task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain times such as system startup.
In Windows XP and Server 2003 you can access this from the Start Menu and clicking on Settings and then Control Panel to Scheduled Tasks.
Double-click Add Scheduled Task. Follow the instructions in the Add Scheduled Task Wizard. Select the Open advanced properties for this task for more set up options.

Important: The actual command must be inside quotation marks whereas the command line options must be placed outside.
Important: If you want your task to run even if no user is logged in, you must enter a user name and password in the "Run As" box.
Alternatively you can point to a Batch file or Windows Scripting (VBS) file that contains the specific instructions to start the software. Thus you can conveniently execute several commands in a sequence.
