  3. Click Browse, choose the program/file that you want to schedule
  4. Assign a name for the task, and then choose one of the following options:
    • Daily
    • Weekly
    • Monthly
    • One time only
    • When my computer starts
    • When I log on

  5. Specify the day and time to run the task, and then click Next
  6. Type the name and password of the user who is associated with this task
  7. Click Next, and then click Finish after you verify the choices that you have made

To schedule a task for browser to open a webpage, the Run field should looks like “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” http:\\www.website_name.com\file_name.aspx

By default, iexplore.exe will open a browser every time it runs. So, in order to close the browser, you may have to create another schedule task.

Below is the steps to close the browser:
  1. 1. Create a Notepad, type taskkill /IM iexplore.exe inside Notepad and then save the file as file_name.bat
  2. Create a new schedule task, browse the file file_name.bat
  3. Schedule this task to run 5 or 10 minutes after the first schedule task.
