I found System Scheduler
(https://www.splinterware.com/products/scheduler.html) easy to use
(and it works on 7 too, so I don't have to do battle with 7's
built-in). I'm sure there are others though.

What is it that you _are_ trying to do - something unusual?


No. Just a reminder of an appointment at a bank to move my safe deposit
contents to a new box - their request. I'm not good at remembering non-
urgent unusual appts.

System Scheduler (above) will certainly pop up a reminder for you to do
that; I use it for dentist, blood doning, or any similar reminder, as
well as annual reminders to renew things, birthdays, weekly reminder to
go through old emails, and so on. The popups have a snooze button (which
can be set to anything from one minute to two weeks).

There are almost certainly other such utilities; since that does what I
want (it can do popups [that's what I use most], run things, etc.), I've
not looked for any. (It does have one snag - the summary table will only
use American [mm/dd/yy] date format. But I can live with that - I rarely
look at the dates in the summary table.)
