Hi Guys,
I hope it's the right forum...
I'm trying to right a VBScript in order to create Tasks in Scheduled Tasks.
My problem is that I can't create a repeated Task meaning Repeat every 20 minute for example.
Any suggestions?
Thanx

Borislav Borissov,
The example you referred to is repeat every day. What I need is Repeat every X Minutes

The task scheduler, which is what WMI accesses, cannot repeat tasks more regularly than once per day

You can't. Even with Task scheduler you could create a Task which can be repeated daily.
Why not put a timer of some kind in your application and put this application in StartUp?

Actually  Task scheduler Can create Repeat Task every X minutes if you use the "Advanced" button.
The reason I'm not writing my own Application is that I don't want to be responsible for running the Jobs

Yes, the Windows Task Scheduler can indeed repeat jobs every X minutes. However, the task scheduler that WMI accesses (which is effectively the older AT command) cannot.
