Schedule Once A Day Tasks

Do you perform some computing related tasks every day once? Maybe you are checking your Facebook status, bank account, favorite online cartoon, run a disk defragmenter or system cleaner. Whatever it is that you are doing once every day the computer program Karen’s Once A Day can aid you in your tasks.

The portable software program can be used by a system user or administrator to configure tasks that need to be run once a day. The program is easier to use than the Windows Task Scheduler which is one of its greatest strengths.

Each task consists at least of a command and arguments. It is for instance possible to run the Firefox web browser by pointing the command to the firefox.exe on the computer system. The argument could be to open an url with the web browser right away.

That’s a basic example. Once A Day can basically execute any executable program in Windows and pass arguments to it.

The state of the window can be configured in the program as well as a wait until the program finished to execute.

Experienced computer users can perform these tasks with the Windows Task Scheduler as well but Karen’s Once A Day presents everything in one window making it somewhat easier to configure.

The software program can be downloaded from Karen’s website. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the Windows operating system.
