Automatically turn on the computer, or How to save a little time

Everyone wants to make the most of the possibilities of the available equipment, be it raising one's own "I" or facilitating life-it does not matter. Today, let's talk about what it's like to automatically turn on the computer, turn it off, and what it's for and how it can be done.

So, since the work for the PC begins with its inclusion, then on this and dwell in more detail. But it should be borne in mind that a completely shut down computer (meaning that it is not in sleep mode) in most cases can not turn on itself. But from the sleeping mode "get on" on schedule - no problem.

You may need to turn on the computer automatically, for example, if you use it as an alarm clock. In addition, you can put the player or any other program on the autorun. Ways to implement this idea:

1. Using the BIOS. This is just the case when the automatic power-up of the computer can occur from a completely shut down machine, but connected to the network. Using the "Del" or "F2" key, go to BIOS and go to Power Management Setup. In the menu that appears, arrange the required values. Here, in general, everything is clear on an intuitive level, but the basic knowledge of English does not interfere. Press the "F10" key to call the "Y" window to save the changes.
2. Program for automatically turning on the computer. Such development on a schedule deduces the computer from a sleeping mode. Among them we can distinguish TimePC, Auto Power-on and others.

There are situations when the automatic shutdown of the computer is very, very useful. For example, when watching a movie, you are afraid to fall asleep and leave the PC turned on for the night, or you are in a hurry, and you have something downloaded, and so that the computer does not "eat" electricity all day, you can set the time for its automatic shutdown. Also, you can avoid the rapid deterioration of the hard drive and cooling system.

You can disconnect the computer by typing "shutdown -s -t (remaining time)" in the command line and pressing "Enter". The command line itself can be called via the path: Start - Standard - Command Line (or Start - Run). Now you set the time that the computer should turn off. The disadvantage is that the countdown is set in seconds. As a result, you will see a window with the time remaining until the end of the computer. You can cancel everything with the command "shutdown - a".

Special utilities to turn off the computer at a specified time allow you to emit a keystroke on a schedule. One of them is Auto-Power-on-Shut-Down. There is also a program with an uncomplicated name "Switch", the menu of which is extremely simple, so anyone can easily figure it out.

On the Internet there are a lot of various programs that cause the computer to turn on automatically, as well as its shutdown, "falling asleep", "waking up", running programs on time and so on. An excellent solution for those who do not like to wait. Now you will not need to waste your valuable time looking at the already bored "transfer": "Welcome Windows". Of all it is necessary to benefit. Therefore, take care of your time, electricity and, of course, a computer!
