It worked this way, so I thought would share it with all those who viewed to help me.

1. first create a playlist with the songs you want to play.
2. Next, go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Scheduled Tasks.
3. Add the playlst as a scheduled task by browsing to it in the wizard for adding a scheduled task. The complete path to the playlist is all you normally need in the commandline for the scheduled task.

Thanks,
Sai
