Which task scheduler to choose under Windows 7?

As you can see from the title, I am looking for a task scheduler for Windows 7. I
need some analogue of Cron in Unix, but for Win systems.
Right there on Wikipedia there is a link to nnCron , however, apparently, the project is abandoned, because. The latest version came out at the end of 2008.
The main task that he will have to perform for me is to run certain files (most often Python scripts) on certain events (time, file change, turning on the computer).
Google, basically, gives out old articles about nnCron, other abandoned analogues or crutches in the form of Cron itself, which obviously does not feel very good in the Win-environment.
If anyone knows of something suitable - please help with the search.
PS Win 7 x64.

Windows has its own built-in task scheduler. I didn’t really use it, but I managed to launch a song in itunes at 10 am :)
The first link from Google for the query "Windows 7 Task Scheduler": technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/cc721931.aspx
As an option - make a bat- a file (well, or some kind of main Python script) that will run once a minute, check all the necessary conditions (whether the file has changed, whether the time has come, whether the computer has turned on :)) and run the desired py script.
I suggest a crutch in case it is not possible to assign all the necessary conditions through the standard scheduler functionality.

nnCron is not abandoned at all. The main method of adding functionality is through plugins. The latest version is here: www.nncron.ru/download/nncron193b15.exe
In Vista and above, run as an application.
