Batch files can be scheduled to run at particular time/ time
frequency you want. Here is how it’s done.
Say you want to run batch file named “Test.bat”.
Test.bat opens a Microsoft word
document named “AI.docx”.
It contains following syntax.
start "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\winword.exe"
C:\Users\Test_User\Documents\Curr\AI.docx
So you have batch file ready.
How to schedule:
1)
From windows search “Task Scheduler” and open it.
2)
Click on “Task Scheduler Library” located at
left of screen. Don’t forget this step. I had spent almost 30 mins to figure
out where my created tasks are going.
3)
From Action menu click on Create task. Follow
the self-explanatory tabs from there on.
4)
In Trigger tab you can give when your batch file
would run. In Action Tab you have to give your batch file path.
5)
In Condition tab. Do not forget to Uncheck “Run
task only on AC power option” .
And that’s it, document AI.docx would open now at scheduled
time.
