hi Wayne,
Yes, sleep would work, but yes it's soooooooo unsophisticated that
your fellow scripters would scoff at you if you used it.
A better approach would be to use the "task scheduler" to schedule
a task -- the task being to run your script when you want it.
Microsoft has coded some scripts to do this for you:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/tasks/default.mspx
If that's not good enough, then there are several postings here
that might be useful, as this question comes up frequently:
