Overview
System Scheduler is a freeware alternative to the Windows Task Scheduler, offering more features and flexibility. 

Review
System Scheduler has a free version and a paid “professional” version. As you might guess I tested the free version Although I’m always put off by the free versus professional version features list I try to give those free versions a try. 

System Scheduler free version is basically a Windows Task Manager replacement, with more features. It’s quite easy to use, but make sure you check out the help section of the program just in case. Creating a scheduled event shouldn’t take you more than a minute or two.

Besides that you can use System Scheduler as a reminder, making pop up windows come up at a chosen amount of time. System Scheduler will not only launch a certain program at a given date and time, you can set it to send keypresses and mouseclicks to that program. I strongly suggest you should check out the help section of the program to see how that works.

Last but not least, System Scheduler Free Version is lightweight, only 1 MB memory footprint.

Verdict

System Scheduler’s Free Version is a good enough freware program to make me decide to keep it. Although I don’t feel happy when I look at the professional version features list I admit that the free version has enough to be nice and useful.
