On W3K you could use this as the run line in
Scheduled Tasks and probably the same in XP
although I have not tested this. The same
components exist in the W2K version although
may be in different locations/names.

Run: cmd /c "c:\php\php.exe -q c:\path\to\php\file.php"

Start in: C:\path\to\php\file\

Run as: username/pass with security acess to
both php.exe and the file.php

YMMV
