- delay start of scheduled task
- Posted by Shane Nieukirk on February 3rd, 2006
I have a "todo" list on my pocket pc. After the file has synchronized with my
desktop, I would like the todo list to open on my desktop.
I can't place the todo list in my startup folder, because activesync cannot
synchronize the file when it is open on the desktop.
My next thought was to create a scheduled task to open the file "at logon."
I need to give AS time to execute before the scheduled task. Is there a way
to delay the "at logon" task?
Thanks,
Shane

Place the to-do list inside a batch file like so, then schedule
the batch file to run at logon time:
@echo off
ping localhost -n 60 > nul
notepad c:\ToDoList.txt

My enviroment unfortunely doen´t allow any third-party applications.
Is there any oppurtunity to get the batch started in an absloute minimized
way.
At least displayed in the Info-Section, so that the User doesnt get the idea
to quit the prozess, because the delay time will take 3 minutes.
What about Scripts for it??

ping.exe is an inbuilt Windows command.
