title: Simple-as-possible task schedule to call web page
body: <p>I have a web page on a which does some database updates (e.g. <a href="http://www.mysite.com/updates.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/updates.asp</a>).  I want this page to be called automatically each day at 09:00.</p>
  
  <p>I know how to schedule a task in IIS, but the process of scheduling a task requires that I select a programme to operate the task.  So I'm thinking perhaps I need to make a .exe file which calls the web page, then schedule that .exe to run daily.</p>
  
  <p>Is this right?  If so, how do I create a simple .exe to do this?  My skills are solely front end web (html/css) and classic ASP, so I've never done anything like creating a .exe before, but I'm sure it can't be too difficult as it's only doing something very simple i.e. loading a web page.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked online and the only examples I can find are full asp.net examples which contain logging of schedules etc, but I'm looking for something much simpler.  I just need to get the web page called once daily. </p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, is there a different way I can get the scheduler to call the page without a .exe?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any pointers...</p>
