nospam Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 No' date=' that didnt work[/quote'] you can write a batch script to close the program and run it again after few seconds or minutes and then setup the task scheduler to run the batch script at the specific time.

nospam Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 open notepad, type in the following code and save it as restartskype.bat taskkill /IM skype.exe /f /t START "" "C:skype.exe" In Vista, Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler -> Create Basic Task -> Type name/description of your task -> set the days -> set the time -> action: start a program -> browse restartskype.bat -> finish * I haven't tested the batch script since I am not on Windows.
