Hello.  
my ISP regularly logs me off the network every weeks so I need to enter my login/password to reconnect.  
I’m gonna be away for a while and I’d like to access my computer via VNC. However if my connection goes down I won’t be there to physically write down my usename and password… so i won’t be able to VNC into my computer.

So i was thinking… I can launch “firefox.exe [http://www.myisp.com/?login?username=X&pass=Y](http://www.myisp.com/?login?username=X&pass=Y)” in order to logon. So if i run that command every few hours. It will reconnect the computer to the internet for sure.

Does any of you guys know how to run a script every hour on a windows machine?
