Windows Scheduled tasks - can you schedule a task till infinity?

[stokefan]

Hi all,

as the thread title really....maybe I'm missing something obvious but
can anyone see how to schedule a task from Windows XP, Start -> Control
Panel -> Scheduled Tasks to run every 5 minutes forever? i.e. a task
that doesn't have an end date.

thanks.

Sure can!
- Schedule the job to start at 0:00, seven days a week.
- Click "Advanced Options" and make the job run every
five minutes.
- Set the duration to 24 hours.
