i have a solution for this please dont use this on a computer that you plan to use at all the computer that will do this is completely useless while crons are on i bought a cheap comp and i only use it for this
this is only for the desperate
google crons for windows their is a free version
unzip the file
open the crontab.file in a text editor
put in your crons example
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * */cron_minute.php?code=[your code]
* * * * * /cron_minute.php?code=[your code]
0 * * * * /cron_minute.php?code=[your code]
0 0 * * * /cron_minute.php?code=[your code]
please note i did not use curl since this cron runner dose not use curl and i did not use */5 for the every five mins the cron dose not support that syntax
after you have put in all your info needed save that file
dubble click the cron.exe and walk away
this method is only for the most extrem cases bc it renders the host comp useless (it brings up the internet every min preventing you doing much at all)
not the best solution but it will work if you really need it to
