AT seemed flaky when I tried to use it. You can use the Program
Scheduler and have it open up IE with an address. The command line would
be something like
C:\whatever\path\iexplore.exe http://www.yourpage.com/script.php
And somewhere in the config you can tell it to "End this program after X
minutes". Set that at whatever and IE will shutdown after that many
minutes. Seems to work well if you can't get AT working...
