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. And while Z-Cron might look a little intimidating at first glance, it includes a nice long list of activities that you can schedule with just a few clicks. Here are just a few of the tasks included:

• 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
• Hibernate
• Log out
• Move a directory
• Switch a screensaver on or off
• Send an email
• Shutdown
• Standby

While there are a ton of tasks built into the interface, you can also create your own by selecting programs you want to name and scheduling a time for them to run.
