Wake-up/scheduled tasks
I would rather not leave my computer on all night. At the same time I use Norton Ghost to do scheduled backups during the night as well as a number of other utilities. Some of these utilities are not mentioned in task manager. Ideally I would like to use the scheduler built into the program. how can I get my computer to wake up in response to scheduled tasks and then go back to sleep?

You can typically get a computer to wake up at a certain time (BIOS option), say 10 minutes before your scheduled backup, then have Ghost shut your machine down after its done. Not all BIOS's offer that option.

I did not realize that the question had been considered abandoned. I stated that the problem was solved. I don't care who has the credit. My solution did not involve a batch file but rather the Windows interface. My BIOS does not offer that option. I have no objection if anyone else claims the points.
