Yeah ok!

Task scheduler no problems figuring that out, I've been using windows 
for more then 5 minutes! :p

However, how can I call a cygwin command line and then execute the 
script? If I use the cygwin.bat (from the cygwin root) file and add the 
contents of the script to the file it doesn't execute the commands, it 
only loads the cygwin command line.

Thanks again guys,
