I've used similar to this in a Batch file that ran daily to identify the day and only run a line of code on a specific day. It allows you specify the days you want it to run and what time: You could also use VBScript: wscript. Glorfindel 1, 3 3 gold badges 14 14 silver badges 22 22 bronze badges.

I basically have A batch file that does a bunch of stuff backups , and some of that stuff HUGE folders that are not that important and don't change often , I want to only do it once a week to save hours of daily time. I CAN split the batch file into many and use scheduler to control this, but it makes everything much more complicated for me, since the things that I need to do weekly happen after some and also before some of the daily ones in particular, I burn a DVD every day after the backup is done, and that has to happen AFTER the long running tasks are done which is hard to estimate — Daniel Magliola.

A very workable solution can be to have the task scheduler create a flag file on the desired day s. The main batch file can check for the existence of that flag file and change the processing accordingly. Don't forget to delete the flag file as well.
