Schedule batch job

Hi,

This is the batch file I have created to delete files.

echo off
rm -rf C:\\DDRIVE\\RD\\newfolder\\temp\\*
echo All The files have been deleted

For every 15 minutes we get the data and it should be deleted at the 13th minute.
can anyone pls tell me how to schedule to every 13th min daily.
Unable to get the syntax right for AT command.


Thanks,
Indom
