I have a few tasks in Windows XP Scheduled Tasks that need to run once
a day and only once a day. The problem is if I don't have my laptop on
at the time of day they are set to run, they won't run at all that
day. Is there a way to have Windows XP run tasks that never executed
at their scheduled time, when I do again turn on my laptop? Thanks
You have had three idiotic messages from some retard who likes to show off
his useless qualifications in his signature. Ignore the moron.
I am assuming that you don't want to manually execute the missed tasks.
So...
You are going to have to write a logon script to either interrogate the
scheduled tasks database, or monitor the contents of schedlgu.txt, located
in the Windows folder. Unless you know how to write code, it is not going to
be an easy job. Either Javascript or VBScript will do the job.
If you want an easy way out, at not too much expense, take a look here:

It claims to have a feature that will allow you to "Schedule Missed Events
to run on Startup/Logon". I assume that means missed events that were to be
generated by the application itself, rather than XP scheduled events. This
kind of application will often require you to redifine your tasks within the
application.
