I'd like to use the Windows Scheduler to automatically send me a backup
of a particular file, once a week. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure
how to do this. Is there a way to send emails via the command line in
Windows XP? Maybe I could use a *.vbs script? If so, how would I call
the *.vbs script from the *.cmd file?

Click to expand...

Using Outlook Express, MSIMN.EXE.

Type or paste in a command prompt...

start MSIMN /mailurl:mailto:

Type or paste in Start | Run...

MSIMN /mailurl:mailto:

Or just create a Shortcut to...

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:mailto:

and double click the shortcut.

Or to...
"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE" /mailurl:mailto:
