# Scheduling exports on Windows
We'll be using [DiscordChatExporter CLI](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/releases/latest), PowerShell, and Task Scheduler.
**1.** Open a text editor such as Notepad and paste:
```powershell
# Info: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki
$TOKEN = "tokenhere"
$CHANNEL = "channelhere"
$EXEPATH = "exefolderhere"
$FILENAME = "filenamehere"
$EXPORTDIRECTORY = "dirhere"
$EXPORTFORMAT = "formathere"
# Available export formats: PlainText, HtmlDark, HtmlLight, Json, Csv
cd $EXEPATH
.\DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe export -t $TOKEN -c $CHANNEL -f $EXPORTFORMAT -o "$FILENAME.tmp"
$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm"
If($EXPORTFORMAT -match "PlainText"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.txt"}
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlDark"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlLight"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Json"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.json"}
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Csv"){mv "$FILENAME.tmp" -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.csv"}
exit
```
**2.** Replace:
`tokenhere` with your [Token](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/.docs/Token-and-IDs.md)
`channelhere` with a [Channel ID](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/.docs/Token-and-IDs.md)
`exefolderhere` with the .exe **directory's path** (e.g. C:\Users\User\Desktop\DiscordChatExporter)
`filenamehere` with a filename without spaces
`dirhere` with the export directory (e.g. C:\Users\User\Documents\Exports)
`formathere` with one of the available export formats
Make sure not to delete the quotes (")
**3.** Save the file as `filename.ps1` not `.txt`
## Export at Startup
**1.** Press Windows + R, type `shell:startup` and press ENTER
**2.** Paste `filename.ps1` or a shortcut into this folder
## Scheduling with Task Scheduler
Please notice your computer must be turned on so the exportation can occur.
**1.** Press Windows + R, type `taskschd.msc` and press ENTER
**2.** Select `Task Scheduler Library`, create a Basic Task, and follow the instructions on-screen
