You could look at an app called autohotkey that would allow you to set a task to repeat every hour.

If you already have knowledge of creating batch files then you should find it a fairly easy and highly useful program

I would go with the Task Scheduler like patio said.

you can set up the batch file to run every hour or every day or whatever you want.
