WinCron description
WinCron is the multi threaded task scheduling for serious system administrators

WinCron is a task scheduling program ideal for virtually any type of unattended task management.

The integrated VBScript takes job creation to a new level. WinCrons Powerful task scheduler with fully integrated VBScript can be run either as an application or as an NT/2000/XP System Service. When run as a system service, WinCron utilizes both Domain User accounts as well as the LocalSystem account.
