What you are looking for is called a 'cronjob' and would be available once you are Hosted.Various Operating Systems have different systems in place for Task Managers to perform these 'scheduled' jobs. Windows has theirs stuffed away under Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks. Might start there to see what you can find if you are running XP.

You can create a simple batch file with the following...open notepad, then type the following:

@echo offstart "notepad.exe"exit

save as filename.cmd or batthen save it.Use scheduled tasks to run it in a particular day or time....
