How do I schedule an excel file to be sent automatically via email

I would like to automate the sending of an excel spreadsheet via email to be triggered on a schedule defined in windows 7. Is it possible to use the task scheduler? IF so how?

I think you may end up with a plug in or 3rd party application.

Just wanted to point out that the "Batch file" listed above, isn't a batch file. It's VBS as well. Try typing any of those commands at the C:\ prompt, and see what happens. Heck, try typing them at the PowerShell prompt and see what happens.

That said, that VBS would probably do the job too.
@d0ughb0y, thanks for spotting that...  brain not working fully today!
