thesitemapper can be run using the Windows scheduler as an alternative to the built in scheduling system.

Setting up a schedule in Windows XP and Windows Vista is quite similar.  The only issue is that the schedule task will ask for a username / password so that the task can be run when no one is logged in.  If you are the only user on the computer, and it is logged in all the time, then click on the tick box to allow the task to run only when the user is logged in and it will not ask for a password.

In Windows Vista :

Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler

In the scheduler display, select the program to run as
‘folder name \ thesitemapper.exe crawl’
where the folder name will be where ever the program is located.

Then set the ’start in’ to the folder where thesitemapper.exe is located.

Click on ‘Run whether user is logged in or not’
Click on ‘Run with highest privileges’
Click on ‘Do not store password’

Enter in the schedule day / time details and make sure the schedule is enabled by the ‘Enable’ tick box.
