hey guys, i know there is some way to do this, or at least part of it. heres what I need, maybe someone knows a good way to do this.

i need a way to set a computer (likely with a program) to automatically shut down at a specific time, and then turn it self on at a specific time. a proper shut down in windows, or even better, a hibernate, if that can be done...

the reason i am trying to do this is so that kazaa can download at night, and then shut down my comp in the day... cause i'm not always around to do this and my parents get pissed cause their internet gets slow... lol go figure

thanks!

Oooops I just read Nightwolf^.`.^ post and I re-read HELLBRINGER's post, I was mistaken I thought You wanted programs to be started/closed at specifics time.

Sorry,

It'd be better to hibernate it than switch it off, as once it's off it won't be able to switch itself back on.
