Carol Haynes:
Marginally modified version here:

I have changed it to seconds (rather than minutes) and added an input field for the filename to Open, which saves having to edit the file.

It is worth grabbing NinoTech Path Copy for use with this (worth having anyway). It is a shell extension that can copy the filename, pathname, folderpath to the clipboard (in both long and short forms).

Thanks Carol, I admit I customized it to fit my needs :) I want to only use it for one .exe and while working with the code I found that it is better to use minutes since I mostly would want to start up stuff in more than 1 minute anyway and one minute intervals are also enough.

@mouser: :D
