Ok that's interesting... Though probably overkill... And Andy, I'm not sure if you comment is serious or sarcasm... Recent versions of Windows come with a scheduler... And most people can cobble a batch file to copy files without help. If you are really looking for a scheduler for Win95 and such, there are some available. Do a search on download.com. I used to use a free scheduler on Win 95/98, but I can't remember the name of the program.
