Timed Shutdown

[DWk]

What I would like is a program that not only shutdowns, restarts, etc. but also (if you chose restart) it runs the programs you were running before the restart (such as K-lite, Bittorrent, Shareaza, etc.)

Any ideas?

Just put those in the startup folder.

another batch file in your startup folder can do that too .

EDIT:

@ECHO OFF
RASDIAL %"connection"% %username% %password%
CD "path\to\first\program\to\start"
START firstprogram.exe
CD "path\to\second\program"
START secondprogram.exe
EXIT

for RASDIAL, replace %"connection"% with the name of your connection that you wish to dial. if it has spaces or characters other than letters and numbers, be sure to put it in quotes.

you can put this in the startup folder so that it starts with your computer. it will start your network connection and any programs that you wish to start after that. this works on xp, and maybe 2000. i dont think it works on older systems though (but there are ways just like this for those systems).
