Scheduling Cygwin tasks in Windows
If you are one of the unfortunate souls that have ever tried to use cron in Cygwin on Windows, I can understand your pain. Getting cron to work in Windows is like rocket science plus plus - take off towards to the ISS space station while performing brain surgery, finding positive things to say about Hatfield, proving that P=NP, and all at the same time.
Personally, I have given up. This leaves me with two choices; writing my own cron (shouldn't be very hard) or use the Windows Scheduler. But how do you use the Windows Scheduler to run cygwin bash scripts? I just found this tip and it works perfectly!

The more pertinent question: Why bother doing it in Windows in the first place? Why not use a real OS? (I know, I know.. have us it to support a product, forced to by managment, blah, blah, blah)
