My Windows 98 task scheduler (Start -- Programs -- Accessories -- System 
Tools -- Scheduled Tasks -- double click on Add Schedule Task to start 
wizard) allows for all kinds of choices:
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
One time only
When my computer starts
When I log on

After selecting one of the above choices  I get choices for
Start Time (HH:MM AM or PM)
and other choices depending upon previous choice

Most of my cleanup operations are set up to be weekly on Sunday early 1 to 
3:00 AM time slot.
V*rus scanning is set for every night.

Existing scheduled tasks can be taught to not run forever -- right mouse 
click on a task then select Properties followed by Settings tab. You also 
get these if you select "Open advanced properties..." when you click finish 
in the task wizard.
