Scheduling a Script Run

Hi All - I was wondering if anybody knows if I can schedule an SAP script to kick-start on a specified schedule, say every Monday morning at 6 a.m. I was thinking Windows Task Scheduling through a .bat file but if there is a better way I would prefer that. Also I am not sure if this can start up SAP and does the password have to be fed in readable text. My script needs SAP and then calls Excel to save and send the files through Outlook.

Thanks for any insight.
