Dead easy to use windows scheduler to automate feeds using the URL generator:
Here's how to do it:
1. Bring up windows scheduler (found as "scheduled tasks" in your control panel in windows)
2. Find your iexplorer.exe using the browse button
3. Now that you've added that to your run box add the URL after the iexplorer.exe part so it looks something like this
c:/windows/internetexplorer/iexplorer.exe

Set the schedule to run every few days at a time you're at your machine.
I don't use the crons personally I use windows scheduler it's just a preferance at my end because I can also run the scheduler when i feel like it.
