SubscribeXP: Start Program at a Specific Time
Posted on Feb 27, 2008 under Windows XP Tips |My boss tends to judge when employees have arrived at work by when they make it into GoogleTalk. Since I am late all the time, I’m going to setup GoogleTalk to start every weekday morning at 8:00am. Here’s how I did it.
1. Click Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks. This screen will appear. Click Next.
2. Select the program you want to schedule to be launched. Click Next.
3. Select how often you wish this program to be launched. Click Next.
3. Select the time, which days and the start date you wish the program to start. Click Next.
4. Enter your Windows XP login password 2 times. Click Next.
5. Click Finish.
6. Your task is now scheduled.

Hmm, not sure if I’d announce something like that on the internet! These things have a way of finding their way back to bosses. Also, you might want to find a way to randomize the start time slightly. He could catch on if you’re dead on 8am every day.
