Answer 1

Did you do your own research?

You can do this straight in MySQL by creating an event

OR

Use PyCron, there has been some good success using this in Windows

OR

The first listing in google came up with this:

1. Use Windows Schedule Task. (not that good)

2. Use a web based service:
   a. http://www.cronjobs.org (ok but anything above 13 minutes and you have to pay – very small amounts but it does work)

       b. http://www.webcron.org (ok but limited to running cron jobs at hourly intervals as the minimum)
   

3. Visualcron (http://www.visualcron.com/) GUI windows app – ok but I found it difficult to get it work properly. Support non-existent –
   never received emails to my queries. You may have better luck.

4. CRONw – (http://cronw.sourceforge.net/ & http://sourceforge.net/projects/cronw/) Excellent – works and is
   configured like a cron job on Unix. No Windows installer yet but will
   be released in v2.1. Requires PERL to be installed (recommend
   ActiveStates Perl install).
