Automating a Task in XP?

Howdy,

I have a DOS Batch file to move some files from one folder into some sub folders. I want to somehow have this file run itself every hour. I looked into XP's Task Scheduler but that only has Daily, Weekly, Monthly and not anything more often than that.

Is there some way I can do this or any other program anyone uses that I can make use of?

I guess I could make 24 daily tasks and start each one an hour later but that'd just be a pain in the butt.

Thanks.
 
Create the task using the daily option.
Right-click the task and select Properties.
Click the 'Schedule' Tab and then click on 'Advanced'
Check the 'Repeat Task' box and set it to 60 minutes.
Enjoy!

Edit: And yeah, this really should have been much simpler. The option to set it to 'Hourly/Custom' should have been present from the get-go.
