In all honesty, if I had a folder of scripts that I needed to execute at a
given time, I'd probably cheat and make one "control" script that was
responsible for calling all of the other scripts.
So
master_script.php
would look vaguely like:
<?php
exec("php script1.php");
exec("php script2.php");
exec("php script3.php");
exec("php script4.php");
?>
That way as needs change you can just make changes to the one
master_script.php instead of having to edit your cron jobs or risk creating
stupidly large amounts of windows scheduled tasks.
Granted that this requires you to have scripts that all will run at the same
time and don't demand different execution times. The other things to keep in
mind is that the initial instance of PHP that runs that master_script.php
will need to be running for the entire length of time that it will take all
of the other files to execute - so be careful of PHP timeouts and modify
your php.ini file if needed/if safe.
The other option, of course, is to get more fancy and read the contents of a
file, build an array and then build a for loop that'd exec() each of the
array elements in turn. This would make the process a lot more hands-off
than the above-mentioned hard-coded master_script.php file (though a bit
longer to impliment and with the same inherent time-out issue as noted above
plus a bit more time for the script itself to execute).
Either way, there's a few options that may spawn some better ideas from
others on the list :)

Not a problem!

session.save_handler = file
session.save_path = e:\PHP\sessiondata ; argument passed to save_handler
is there adequate permissions on e:\PHP\sessiondata? (simple test, set it
to everyone full, and see if it helps)

Sorry, I overlooked adding that <sigh />.
This is the last configuration that I tried.
[Session]
session.save_handler = file
session.save_path = e:\PHP\sessiondata ; argument passed to save_handler
session.use_cookies = 1
; session.use_only_cookies = 0
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 1200
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
Must admit that some of the settings here are foreign to me . . . I've just
been adjusting by rote at the suggestion(s) of folk who are better steeped
in session parameters. Still on a learning curve . . . which suddenly got
very steep <sigh />.
