Schedule Eric Description

I need to launch programs, Batch files, and scripts automatically. Microsoft Now has a decent task scheduler, but I didn't have that back when I wrote this program. Every other scheduler I could find came with a nasty shareware nag screen or made itself an unwelcome guest on my task bar. So I wrote my own scheduler. The Schedule program has no user interface because it really doesn't need one. Setting up the specs on what programs get launched is handled by an INI file. A GUI doesn't add much to this simple process. The only remaining item where a GUI might be handy is to shut the program down. But I elected to let the sytem kill the program via the task MANAGER (hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, select "Schedule", and "End Task"). So I got out of all the bother with a GUI. The best part of no GUI is no window. That means no task bar or system tray clutter. If you want, Schedule will keep a log of program launches (including it's own start and stop times).
