This is bash (i.e. your shell) that it couldn't find any file that match
the globbing that you asked it to do before calling wget. Try escaping
the question mark or quoting the URL:
wget
http://www.virtual-london.co.uk/schools/default.asp\?schoolID=CookSch1
or
wget
'http://www.virtual-london.co.uk/schools/default.asp?schoolID=CookSch1'

Note: the latest vesion is 1.6 available from GNU mirrors. Look at the
web-site (http://sunsite.dk/wget/)

What about something like:
wget -O cam`date +%y-%m-%d`.jpg 'http://....'
Hint: bash, date ... are ported to Windows. http://www.cygwin.com/ for a
unix-like environment or http://www.mingw.org/ for a windows-like one.

Use the scheduler and at. Remember to use absolute paths or cd to the
revelant directory (and drive)
