Make a macro to run Notepad

RunProgram>notepad.exe

From the editor:
Click on RunWhen Tab and set schedule to run on selected days, and time.

Save macro. Do not log off or shut down system. Program should run as scheduled, assuming permisisions are correct.
(Using version 11.1. Versions before 10x have scheduling features under Macro Properties).

Glad I could help.

I am still wondering what Notepad is going to do for you at midnight, running by itself. I have not been able to come up with a thing, but don't give away your trade secrets.

naa its was just an example its for a game called EVE-online, your skill can finish at any time so me making this script is very useful

because then i can set it up to change the skill when it finishes without me doing anything
