Reminder Programmes

[Pillager]

I would like a free, simple programme that will sit in the systray and pop-up with reminders and a task list from time to time and for certain dates. I know I could use Outlook, but I don't really want that open all the time, and it would be a massive overkill. Does anyone know of or use a programme that would be appropriate?

I haven't googled yet, but I think there are programs that does that out there... searching in www.download.com might be fruitful.

Also I think that can be archived with relatively little effort (for me, a programmer)...

1. Write up a batch file to schedule a Windows script with Windows task scheduler
2. Task scheduler fires the script
3. The script prompts a message and grab user input: Dismiss/Snooze
4. Batch cancel/reschedule script according to answer

The scheduling part could be done in the script instead of batch, but I'm not very experienced in Windows scripting, so I'm not sure right now...
