    C:\Documents and Settings\sm900038\Desktop>at /?
    The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
    a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
    the AT command.

    AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]
    AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE]
    [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"

    \\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
    local computer if this parameter is omitted.
    id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
    command.
    /delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
    scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
    /yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
    confirmation is desired.
    time Specifies the time when command is to run.
    /interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
    who is logged on at the time the job runs.
    /every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
    month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
    is assumed.
    /next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
    day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the
    current day of the month is assumed.
    "command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.
