What tool can give me a hourly reminder?

I'm a programmer, I often spend alot of time in front of my computer and forget about other things. I simply get drawn into my work and I cannot focus on anything else.

I have been searching for a program that displays a message on your computer screen on a set hour to remind me of certain things. Does such a program exist?

Windows XP, sorry I forgot to mention my OS. – Bugster – 2012-04-20T17:41:38.367

Ah, fair enough. The above question should probably also answer yours! – slhck – 2012-04-20T17:42:21.770

I tried that answer above (Thanks for that, by the way) but there's no such thing as "Task scheduler" in "Administrative tools" in control panel. I'm on windows XP. – Bugster – 2012-04-20T17:45:18.630

@ThePla Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools, and it is called 'Scheduled Tasks'.... Or, just go to the control panel, switch to the classic view, and there is a folder called 'Scheduled Tasks' as well. – cutrightjm – 2012-04-20T17:49:26.410
