| very nice...thanks...now that Ive looked into it, I think that it was
| schedule to turn on at a certain time to support backups. But I can see
| anything in the scheduled tasks and I ve looked all over and cant find
where
| that was done, but it sure seems certain to me that I had scheduled this
PC
| to turn on at a specific time.
| Do you know where that control is in XP?

A scheduled startup from a powered down state would have to be handled by
the BIOS.
