You use the Windows Task Scheduler to launch the batch file at the required
time each Friday.

Thank you very much for your answer. Is it only way to do this?

No, it isn't. You could also get a batch file to run all the time and check
the date and time once every minute. While this would work, it would be a
clunky and unreliable method. The Task Scheduler is the ideal tool for your
purpose.

You're welcome.

i'm really sorry for asking your advice again but is it safe to use such a way:

for /f %%i in ('wmic path win32_LocalTime get DayOfWeek') do set wd=%%i
echo %wd%

thank you

The command "wmic path win32_LocalTime get DayOfWeek" doesn't work on my
machine. What do you expect it to generate? And what do you get when you
type this command at the Command Prompt:
echo %date%{Enter}

You ask if it is safe to use this command. Yes, of course it is, and if it
works for you, great!
