| it seems that the file /etc/crontab must be owned by root. But there
| is not a root user in my computer.
| How could solve the problem? Do i have to create a root user for windows?

Crontab files must be owned by the user with matching name.
They must readable by SID S-1-5-32-544, the crontab -e program sets it that way.
