Seems to have a lot of promise: I now have an icon on the desktop that automatically opens SketchUcation

Looks interesting. Too bad you can't set it to start tasks at a certain time, that would be really helpful.

You can 'schedule' almost anything...
First you make/save your executable Action(s) file [.wexe] - say'Backup.wexe'
.
Then use Windows > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > Create Basic Task >> 'Actions_Backup' >> 'Start a Program' >> 'Browse...' to the .wexe file - e.g. 'C:\Users\TIG\Documents\Actions\Backup.wexe' - and then edit the line to start with 'cmd /c' thuscmd /c "C:\Users\TIG\Documents\Actions\Backup.wexe"
.
That will then run the specified Action(s) .wexe file as at the time/day/repeat/action/etc you have scheduled...
it does work because I have used it for .wexe files successfully...
[This is the Vista method... but I'm sure there's something very similar available for other OSs, MAC etc...]
