Scheduling a task to open a web page

[PaulFXH]

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"

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
