I plan to write a small alarm program. Which function should I use to run something at a specific time?

Thanks.

Thanks, this is nice. I am wondering if there is a simple to load a function at a specific time.

For example, I want to open notepad.exe at 2:pm. Which function should I use.

look at

while 1
if @hour=2 then Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
sleep(50);saves cpu
wend
