I have two tasks set up in the Windows Task Scheduler. One is supposed to run at 3:00 AM, and the other is supposed to run 15 minutes later. If the computer is off when the tasks are scheduled to run, then the tasks are set to be run when the computer starts up. The problem with this is that the two tasks cannot run at the same time. What I want to do is wait for the first of two tasks to complete, and once it has completed, wait 15 minutes before the second task begins. How can I set this up in the Task Scheduler? I can't set the system up for the second task to begin executing as soon as the first one is done because the two tasks are nothing more than batch files which invoke another program, and the two things that those batch files do with the program cannot be done at the same time. Since the first task should only take 5 minutes, I need to give some leeway for the second task to begin.

You could use Schtasks or At from the batch file and schedule the task 15 minutes into the future.
