SimpleCron

Simple scheduler utility for Windows PCs which executes specified commands at specified times / days for the currently logged-in user.
The specification of actions follows widely the crontab syntax as e.g. described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
Missed tasks will always be started at the next possible time, i.e. at the next system startup.

Installation:
* Install the Java runtime environment in at least version 1.8 (if not already installed). You can download it from https://www.java.com/download.
* Select some program folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)), download SimpleCron.zip there, and unpack it (=> <ProgramFolder>\SimpleCron).
* Execute (by double clicking) InstallSimpleCron.vbs (this will establish the work folder C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SimpleCronSimpleCron, create an entry in the Startup (AutoStart) folder, and start SimpleCron)
* SimpleCron will (after start) remind you to edit the crontab as soon as possible.

Features
