Re: Timing Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Amir,

There are really no other suggestions. You will have to calculate the
amount of time to wait from the time you set the timer property until the
next time you have to run a task.

Also, I don't see why your machine would run out of memory if you used a
task scheduler. Once the executable is done, the process disappears, and
memory is reclaimed by the OS.

If anything, you run a greater risk of running out of memory by having
your own continuous process run. If you are doing nothing but running tasks
on a timed basis, then the scheduled task manager is really the way to go.
No need to reinvent the wheel. Also, as Ignacio said, this is not a
real-time OS, so you won't be able to get it to execute EXACTLY at 5 PM.
