    Hello,

    I want to make my browser start automatically weekly, same day and time and open a specified page.

    My questions are:

    1. I tried the Outlook way, like in MS tutorial http://support.microsoft.com/kb/254489.
    Well, in step 7 there is no "This is an Online meeting" check box in my window, and of course no "NetShow Services", so I can't conclude the setup; the question is what is wrong with Outlook (I use Outlook 2003).

    2. Is there any other smarter way to do this..?

    Thanx

    Scum's method works but you have to install some software. There is a way without having to do that.

    Scheduled tasks are the best if not only way to do it. What you can do is right click anywhere and go to new -> shortcut, and create a new shortcut. Type in http://www.whatever.xxx for the location and then make a scheduled task to open that shortcut up when you want it to. It should open with your default browser and you're all set.

    For support on scheduled tasks:
    Check out this website for XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569
    This for Vista (and probably 7 too) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939039
