Reminder to execute program

[_Dynasty_]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. I need a simple program / script (VB) that creates a bubble near the windows clock that appears every week or so to remind to run a program. By clicking the bubble causes the program to run.

This is a web development forum, but to somewhat answer your question there is a scheduler in Windows that runs programs at specified intervals (not that I've ever used it). For one it can be used to run the program automatically (removing the need for the bubble), but if that's not desired you can just make a batch script (simple stuff, Google it) that runs on the schedule and basically just outputs a message (and pauses so the prompt doesn't close). It's not a bubble, but it's a window with a message and has the same effect.

There are probably some people who actually knows Windows programming here that can help you though (I'm a Linux geek), so if my ad hoc solution doesn't suit you wait for (and hope that) someone else pitches in.

Windows Scheduler, bingo. Let me dig into Scheduler to see what I can make it do, then maybe expand on that with a little windows programming if needed.

you do not need to program anything or use a vb script.

there are lot of good softwares for that, some are paid and some are free.

one free and good software is here
