Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / February 2006Scheduling a task to open a web page
Hi I use the Windows Task scheduler to run a variety of tasks, principally anti-spy scans, on a daily basis. However, it seems that the scheduler cannot be encouraged to launch a web page at a given time. Does anyone know if Task Scheduler can be configured to do this? If not, is it possible to write a small batch file to open the web page which I can then schedule via Task Scheduler? I know I can use software such as AlarmWiz to do this for me but I would like to know if this is a genuine limitation of the Windows Task Sceduler or not. Thanks for any suggestions you may have. Paul Create a new scheduled task to open a browser eg: internet explorer then right click properties, in the run window type in with the quotes an example "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://www.google.com" > Hi > I use the Windows Task scheduler to run a variety of tasks, principally [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks for any suggestions you may have. > Paul diesel_fuel Thanks a lot. That worked perfectly. Another computing milestone has been passed today. Actually, I had almost got there. But I had left out the quotes around the url. Thanks again Paul |
