schtask seems not to be installed on my XP system

[Guest]

"schtask" is a command line task scheduler like the "at" command. Open the
"Scheduled Tasks" window. Go to the menu item "Help" select "Help and Support
Center". From there double click "Schedule Tasks" (it has a little CLOSED
book graphic next to it). From there double click "Scheduled Tasks and the At
command". Click "related topics" highlighted in blue down at the bottom of
the window, select "At". Go down the the bottom of the next window, click
"related topics" again, select "Schtasks". According to the documentation
it's a very powerful command line task scheduler. Much more powerful than the
"at" command.

Gracias,
Bob

schtasks /? does not work in a command prompt for you?

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

hh ntcmds.chm::/schtasks.htm

schtasks.exe should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32. I do not know why, but there
is no backup copy in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache. I cannot find
schtasks.ex_ on any of my three XP CDs. It is not one of the Windows
Support Tools. I don't know where the thing came from.

You got back to me fast. That hh command was interesting. I'm sure it will be
of some use in the future. It brought up the Windows Help for the command.
But unfortunately it still won't work.
