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.
