Rick,

I did not see anyone give you a batch file example.

edit mybatch.bat

and add your lines;

SET PFDSK=C:
SET PFDIR=\appl
SET PFPROG=\appl
SET PFVER=ON
SET PFCMARK=10
/appl/fp/ control -FP daily_deposit -SR 1

You may need additional or different environment variables set, but this 
is a basic example.
You may want to print to your filepro config.
Then as others have said, just use the task scheduller to run it when 
you need to.
