    Windows has its own version of Cron Jobs, called Scheduled Tasks. You can find it under Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks. To run a script via this you can create a .bat file, edit it and put something like the following example in it.

    cd c:\path\to\script\folder
php -f script.php
