Hi,

One option available for scheduled tasks is to use the Win32 APIs
that would allow your application to start & sleep (waitable timer),
until it is time to perform some jobs, case in point:

CreateWaitableTimer()
SetWaitableTimer()
WaitForSingleObjectEx()
CancelWaitableTimer()
OR,
NetScheduleJobAdd()

Also, if you have the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation),
you can use the following class to Schedule tasks as well:

Win32_ScheduledJob
