Schedule a reboot?

G

Guest

I have Windows XP SP2, not part of a domain.

As described in my response to the "Task Scheduler" query by Fred
Flintstone, I managed to set up my system so, after having assigned a
password to the "Owner" account, I can schedule tasks and not have to log on
when I boot or come out of standby. It works very well.

Anyway, the remaining problem is that Norton SystemWorks One Button Cleanup
needs to reboot after it does its thing. After the last time it ran via the
schedule ( this was also the first time), I brought the PC out of standby to
find a dialog box displaying, requesting that I click a button on the box so
it can reboot and complete the task or tasks.

My question is: One Button Cleanup is configured to scan and repair
automatically. Is there some way I can get the reboot done automatically as
well?

Don't use anything Norton. Try adding another scheduled event to run
the 'shutdown.exe' command. Run 'shutdown /?' on how to use it.
