Freebyte Task Scheduler: Portable task scheduling

But there's one thing that sets FreeByte's utility apart from the Windows Task Scheduler. It's a portable app, which means you can download it and run it. No installation required. That means you can also throw the task scheduler on your USB flash drive and carry it with you from computer to computer.

The fewer programs that are allowed to run at start up the faster the time between turn on and being able to use the system. Most programs want to install a little ditty so they can run at start up and keep in front of your face, but most are not needed and can be called up when needed.

Might be handy to turn off my PC a few hours after I fall asleep; something I cannot do without the hum of the computer going nearby.
