Evidently it ran and went away once run. I did as you suggested and looked at the switches for the 'AT' command and you have to specify /every[date,....] if it is to run at some future point. Thanks for your response and patience with a n00b. :) I checked the scheduled tasks and there were none. Evidently it ran and went away once run.

Interesting thought, I’ll have to try it and see what happens. If you wanted to clear it manually, just go into the Control Panel, and select the Scheduled Tasks Icon. You’ll be able to see the task there. You could also run the AT command again using the job ID and /delete switch. The job ID is the number representing the task, it will list the job ID when you run the initial AT command, or you can run the AT command with no switches to get a list of scheduled tasks.
