XP Batch file scheduler

[lurker]

I use the Windows built in scheduler, but it has some weaknesses that
are a nuisance.

I want to run a bat file every 15 minutes forever.

The Windows scheduler doesn't wrap to the next day.
Scheduling 7 days is a nuisance.

When the system reboots, the scheduler doesn't restart a schedule that
was already running for the day.

Anyone know of a scheduler that will suffice for my needs?

*** Yes, it does.

Scheduling 7 days is a nuisance.

*** No need for this!

It seems you went off at a tangent when using the Windows
Task Scheduler for your job. It can do all of the above with
great ease. Follow these steps:

1. Control Panel / Task Scheduler
2. Add Scheduled Task.
3. Select your batch file.
4. Give the task a name.
5. Select the "Daily" radio button.
6. Set the time to 0:00, and select "Every Day".
7. Enter the account details.
8. Click "Advanced properties" + Finish
9. Click "Schedule".
10. Click "Advanced".
11. Repeat the task every 24 minutes, and make the duration 24 hours.

I have jobs running every hour, and every 30 minutes.

Schedule the jobs (tasks) for daily, and click "advanced", select "repeat",
and then every 15 minutes.
