  Yes, it's a 'doze command.

  Yes, it's part of the basic OS, not IE.  (Has been since NT days).

  Yes, there's also a Posix AT command:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/at.html

  It interacts with the cron daemon.  So in principle there's no reason why
there shouldn't be a cygwin at command to interact with the cygwin crond
entirely independently of the 'doze at command and task scheduler.  I guess
nobody's ported it yet.

    cheers,
