Open a file every week as a reminder using batch

[sivaramr]

HI

Is it possible to open a excel file every week using a batch script which should run automatically after user logging into a system

Kind of confused as to what you want to have happen.

A scheduled task in windows can launch an excel file to load at a specific time etc.

A batch or excel file added to the startup folder can cause an event to trigger on logon.

More information on what you need to have happen will produce a better solution.

Has the OP already looked at this:

If you use a specific program on a regular basis, you can use the Task Scheduler wizard to create a task that opens the program for you automatically according to the schedule you choose. For example, if you use a financial program on a certain day each month, you can schedule a task that opens the program automatically to avoid the risk of forgetting to open it yourself.

Running a task once a week is a normal part of Windows.  A batch file is seldom needed.

Yes This is very Easy!
BUT THE BATCH FILE MUST RUN 24/7

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:remind
ping localhost -n 604800 >nul
start C:\YourPathHere\YourExcellWork.xls
goto remind
NOW ADD THIS TO YOUR STARTUP FOLDER SO EVERY TIME YOU LOGIN IT WILL START BUT TAKE NOTE THE TIMER WILL RESTART ON LOGIN!

The ping localhost -n 604800 >nul Will Wait Till a week in seconds which a week in seconds is 604800

Dont Forget to Change C:\YourPathHere\YourExcellWork.xls To Your Actual Path

There You Go I Found This Out MySelf
