I would like to know if there is a program which can switch on my PC while it
is OFF. I want to wake up and find my PC ON rather than to wait couple of
minutes for the windows to start! ... :) Time is precious, u know.

Other than not turning it off, how would it know when you were going to wake
up.

Just leave it on. Or try hibernate.

See if the BIOS supports switching on a certain times. Some systems do.
 
Get yourself a TV Tuner card, some have the functionailty of booting the PC
up with an automatic logon. If you don't want to start recording on boot up,
then just boot the PC up using the remote.

Better still, when you wake up, press the power button on your PC whilst on
your way to the dunny, then to the kitchen to make your coffee.

There's a 1000/million things a person can do after they push a button. If
time is so precious, why are you sitting there waiting for windows to finish
booting up?

You might try enabling Hibernation in the power options and hibernating
instead (really reduces bootup time, since you're just loading a saved RAM
image of an already running system). You might also want to check your
BIOS to see if it has a wake-at-time feature. This ins't something you can
fix in software, either your motherboard supports it or it doesn't.
