I have tried

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * javaw myPackage.com.myProgram


I have added my program to the system environment variable CLASSPATH, but still no success.

Any thoughts on how I can set up cron on windows to run my java application?

Thanks in advance for your assistance

I suggest that you try using a thread. You can set the thread to sleep for 10 minutes i.e Put the main class in an endless loop and put the thread in that loop.
Thread.sleep(600000).

After that you can add its exe jar file to the start-up programs so thats its launched on every log-on or when the computer starts up.

try it out...
