1275433	2012-05-15 09:41:00	Hi, Recently, sleep mode was recommended on PCWorld as a way of saving electricity charges. Is there a way to set a schedule task for this purpose, making a switch to sleep mode at mid-night' for example, a routine?	chermesh (4253)
1275434	2012-05-15 09:44:00	This?? (answers.microsoft.com). Might be the same for Win7 Dont know if it'll work in Task scheduler tho. Or this which is a vbs script (www.computing.net)	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1275435	2012-05-15 09:44:00	Im pretty sure some mobos offer a power on and off function in the bios which at the time you set turns it on then off.	stratex5 (16685)
1275436	2012-05-15 09:46:00	Speedy yours looks like an icon which requires clicking. Just saying:)	stratex5 (16685)
1275437	2012-05-15 10:02:00	It may still work as a command in task scheduler. Thats if you can give it a time..	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1275438	2012-05-15 10:07:00	Good point.	stratex5 (16685)
1275439	2012-05-15 10:23:00	Why don't you just sleep it when you leave it at night? Or set it to go into sleep mode after a certain time?	linw (53)
1275440	2012-05-15 10:26:00	Theres an article HERE (www.sevenforums.com) ( scroll down the page a bit) then Post #1 on how to do it, simple really, never tried it, as often sleep mode can cause more problems than it saves. Edited: Another one HERE (thehotfix.net) Post #2 - much the same thing but running a bat file this time from Task Scheduler	wainuitech (129)
1275441	2012-05-15 11:24:00	Try Steve Gibson's WIZMO. I use "wizmo standby" from a shortcut all the time. I'm sure it could be scheduled. www.grc.com	AvonBill (11358)
1275442	2012-05-15 23:21:00	I use PsShutdown technet.microsoft.com Just set task scheduler to run psshutdown -d at whatever trigger you want.	ryanjames.powell (13554)
