After my AVG downloads (automatically at 0400) the system must be restarted.
i want to schecule that for 0500 daily. In Scheduler, it only gives the
choice of scheuling programs to run.

Any hints on how I get it to do this? Is it something that has to be done
through the command prompt, then Ctrl-Alt-Del?

You want to schedule this command to run.

shutdown.exe -r -t 00

Take a look at these articles for more info.

Keep in mind that by default, you need to use an account that
has a non-blank password to schedule tasks.

Good luck

Or tick "Run only when logged in" in advanced properties of the task...

Thanks for passing that along. That's something I didn't know.
