How to schedule execution of code?

[Virgil Stokes]

Suppose that I have some Python code (vers. 2.6) that has been converted into an 
*.exe file and can be executed on a Windows (Vista or 7) platform. What can one 
do to have this *.exe executed at a set of specific times each day? In addition, 
if a day is missed (e.g. computer on which it resides goes down), then it will 
be executed the next time the computer is successfully started up.

It might be useful to know that the purpose of this code is to collect data from 
a set of RSS feeds.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
