Z-Cron is a free task scheduling utility for WIndows. But wait, doesn't Windows aready include a task scheduler? Yes, but it's not exactly what we'd call user friendly.

- Alarm CLock
- Cleanfile - delete old files
- CopyDir - Copy a directory (great for performing daily, weekly, or monthly automated backups)
- Delete files
- Download files
- Empty trash

- Move a directory
- Switch a screensaver on or off
- Send an email
- Shutdown
- Standby
