You might be able to do it with msconfig... built into windows, just go to Start->Run and type MSConfig. Although fiddling with this is quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Be careful. Also, if you drag and drop shortcuts into Start->Programs->Startup they automatically run at startup... funnily enough, I was actually doing that with Winamp just a short time ago  as far as time delay start goes, you'd have to write or find a program. there's probably one around... maybe Google search "startup scheduler" or something. all the best

On win98se: start > programs > accessories > system tools > scheduled tasks to begin a process. The process would need a command line interface. To shutdown, there are settings for how long the machine is idle before it goes to sleep . rt-click Desktop > properties > screen saver > settings > power schemes. Does this help? You don't tell us what O/S you are using, and I don't know if the same features are available in newer versions of Windows, but this might lead you to discover something which works.

There is a scheduling program included with every version of Windows. As jlhaslip mentioned you can launch it from the Start menu. A few notes: You will see an extra icon in the system tray (the area by the clock); you need to be familiar with the programs command line parameters; scheduling programs to run is pretty much a breeze.

I recall a program called similar to "auto power on" or something like that... You could schedule programs to be startet or you could reboot or shut down your pc or you might be able schedule your pc to wake up from standby!! (depends on your system if that is possible) Maybe you find something when you search in google
