Starting Script at specific time

[Guest zarcc]

Is there a way to start a script at a specific time of day from within the script. For some reason my boss doesn't want it done using scheduler on W2K.

Any advice would be appreciated.

heres an example of how it could be done

#NoTrayIcon

;write in the registry so it can startup
If RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\", "name") = "C:\path\script.exe" then
Sleep(1)
Else
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\", "name", "REG_SZ", "C:\path\script.exe")
Endif

; loop till the times are correct
While 1
Sleep(300000); ease the cpu. shorten this is you need it to be really acurate
If @WDAY = 6 AND @HOUR = 18 AND @MIN > 24 AND @MIN < 36 Then ExitLoop
Wend

msgbox(0, '', "the time is here :)")

this gives a msgbox on friday between 6.24 and 6.36 PM
