Two options:

* Use Cygwin's cron: There's good, brief instructions on [Stack Overflow][0].

* Specify the program that runs the script to Task Scheduler.  For a bash script, for example, the command you'd want to give Task Scheduler would be something along the lines of:

       C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "/path/to/script.sh"
