Task Scheduler Problem

I want to run a URL in Task Scheduler. It's an internet radio feed and I
want to open it each morning at 6h45, etc...

Problem is that Task scheduler do not seem to recognize a URL as a valid
action.

Any idea how to make it work ?

Thanks

Re: Task Scheduler Problem

Hello,

put 'iexplore' in front of the website.

e.g.:

iexplore "http://www.jimmah.com/vista/"

Re: Task Scheduler Problem

Actually,

You have to be a bit more specific than that.

Where it says "Program/script", type (with quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

And then where it says arguments, put the website you wish to load.
