Is it possible to use the AT command to create a scheduled task that repeats every X minutes? I can use AT to make one that repeats daily/weekly/monthly, but haven't seen a minute/hourly repeat. I can use the task scheduler to create a task, but don't want to create a new account. Any suggestions?

As TheCleaner said, schtasks is the better option. If you do find yourself forced to use the AT command (as I was when a client insisted on AT) then you could always use the sleep command (or similar) and have the script/batch rerun the required activity. In my case I just had it checking for the status of a service and take action on that (customer legacy code issue) and then it would sleep for 10 minutes. A 'temporary' fix while they sorted out their coding issue - 3 years later I found out they were using my 'fix' - code issue still wasn't fixed... – Enigman Sep 16 '13 at 22:40

You can't use a parameter in the AT
command to do this for a single command. You could create a crazy amount of them to suffice (say 24 to have it run every hour every day).
My advice is to stop using AT
and use the schtasks
command that replaces it.

It will let you create a cmd line task that will do what you are wanting:

Will schtasks command let you create a task that uses the system account? – Dustin Sep 17 '13 at 14:23
