This is how you can create Cron Jobs for Xampp.

SPOILER: SHOW

Create a batch file to run your php script using php executable "C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\wamp\www\index.php". Add this batch file in Scheduled Task in Windows control panel.

To create the batch file

Open Notepad.
Paste the line "C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\wamp\www\index.php"
Click "File" -> "Save As"
Ensure "Save as type:" is set to "All Files"
Save the file as "cron.bat" to your C drive

To schedule the batch file to run

Open Command Prompt
Paste the following "schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 20 /tn "PHP Cron Job" /tr C:\cron.bat"
Press Enter
This will make the script run every 20 minutes, the first time 20 minutes from now.
