Need a Desktop Alarm That Goes Off in Set Intervals
jpretori replied to brownsfan019's topic in Tools of the Trade
To get rid of the black command prompt window that opens as part of the process, change the command that is executed to: C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "start /B msg jpretori /W /V "15-minute check"" -

You don't need a specialized app to do that. Try this: Go to Start->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks->Add Scheduled Task. Select "Command Prompt" as the application to run. Set up the schedule to fire any which way you want (there's a lot of flexibility in there) Open the settings for the new task, change the command that is run to the following: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k "msg jpretori /W /V "15-minute check"" Of course, change "jpretori" to whatever your username happens to be. To see the reminder that will be displayed, run msg jpretori /W /V "15-minute check on the command prompt (Start->Run, then type "cmd" and hit enter)
