Thanks for the reply. Unfortnately I can't set Start as a command to 
run in the newer Task Scheduler. And the older AT command doesn't let 
me set up the kind of schedule I need.

I've seen a few discussions on the web about this and with no easy 
workaround it seems.

For now, I'm running the tasks as a user who isn't logged in. Not 
much of a solution but it may be enough.

Thanks again.

Dave
