    In what sense?

    You could use task sheduler?

    Could try Automate.

    and there was another program which I can't remember the name frown.gif But it used to look for idle time and then shut your machine down (was used to do long downloads where you wanted to go to bed).

    Nah, with getright I think you can only shut down at the end of a download, get 'shut down now' It'll shut down at a set time every day or whatever way you want it and it doesn't care what programs are running etc. Some of these programs won't shut down if for example an error window pops up of any type in windows but this one does.

    Ian a newer version of afore mentioned program is now availabe from the same link above. i ironed out a few bugs and added some much needed functionality like stopping the timer and all that. it doesnt freeze either smile.gif . Was real easy fix, shouldve thought of it before, but silly me.
