Short answer: No.
Long answer: There should, in theory, be a way to do this using the
built-in Task Scheduler (found in Control Panel) and your copy of
Notepad. Unfortunately, Microsoft has never made the Task Scheduler
particularly intuitive, or easy to use. I'd recommend avoiding
experimenting with it, unless you enjoy getting headaches and
smacking your monitor...
For reminders, you can use either Microsoft Outlook (bundled with MS
Office), or one of the many freeware reminder programs. A few options
