Nice little tool ... but my PowerPro already can do all this.

Errr,
What's the point of a portable (USB) replacement for the Windows Scheduler? And if there would be a point, doesn't this disqualify itself for writing to the Windows Registry?

Hey, nice to see other PowerPro users.

I got rid of Windows Scheduler and use nnCron instead. Very simple, flexible, and it uses the unix crontab format.
