I need an application that does this...

Sorry I wasn't sure exactly what section to post this in.

I'm looking for an application that will allow me to schedule an application to start at a certain time. For example, if I wanted an MP3 or something of that nature to start playing in the morning to act as an alarm clock, how could I do this?

Thanks

If you have Windows XP, won't the Programs-Accessories-Scheduled Tasks feature be sufficient?

Thanks but when I try to use the this I get an "Access is denied" error. I'm the admin on this computer.

So to solve this problem, I have to either wait for the next SP, or contact MS? Wow.

Thanks

Did you try the 'Workaround' in that link?

I've found a simpler application. I just wanted something simple and easy to use. I didn't really want to start tweaking my computer.
