Is it possible to run any type of file (like,. mp3, doc, exe..) with a Vbscript file at a specific time?
I looked in many places but there were no success..
Give a try for this example that can schedule Notepad to be executed everyday at 10:00 AM
So, you need just to modify those 3 arguments in this script to yours :
Option Explicit
Dim TaskName,App_FullPath,strTime
TaskName = "Execute_Notepad"
App_FullPath = "C:\windows\notepad.exe"
strTime = "10:00"
Call CreateTask(TaskName,App_FullPath,strTime)
'*****************************************************************
Sub CreateTask(TaskName,App_FullPath,strTime)
Dim ws,strtask,exitcode
Set ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strtask = "schtasks /create /sc Daily /tn "& qq(TaskName) & _
" /tr "& qq(App_FullPath) & _
" /st " & strTime & " /f"
exitcode = ws.Run(strtask, 0, True)
If exitcode <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "External command failed: " & Hex(exitcode)
Else
wscript.echo "Success !"
End If
End Sub
'*****************************************************************
Function qq(str)
qq = chr(34) & str & chr(34)
End Function
