Take a look in the Scheduled tasks in the control panel.

Or type "at" at the command prompt.

Bar that, take a look at the services through regedit and see if any of them
run this VB app... maybe he is just using Timers to periodically check a SQL
table to see if a job is schedule to run Now, and if so, run it.

Ship over the code if you want me to interpret it...

Subject: [windows2000] Scheduling jobs to run (without purchasing any

We just discovered that one of our scheduled jobs hasn't run since November.
5 years ago a developer here wrote a VB program to control the parameters to
the various jobs we ran, etc.  I have found the source code, but I cannot
find how it actually schedules anything to run in Windows 2000.  (It handles
the parameters to the jobs, how often they should run, etc, and records all
of this info in some SQL Server tables, but it doesn't look to me as though
it does anything at all as far as actually making anything run in batch on a
Windows 2000 Server.)

So, the question I have is, what methods are there for running anything in
batch mode on Windows 2000 Server, without purchasing a product to help me
do that?  (I am sure that the developer probably used whatever ships with
Win2K.)
