Ed,

Grab a copy of wget and use it to call the webpage of your choice.  Schedule
it as a Windows Scheduled Task.

Bin: ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.9.1b-complete.zip
Example: http://cephas.net/blog/2002/08/07/wget.html

<tip type="Crawling a Site" author="Joshua Olson">
wget is one of the best kept secrets of the web.  Use it to remotely call a
web page, mirror an FTP site, crawl a website, etc, etc, etc.
