I dont spose anybody knows a way of scheduling a usb port to 'activate' or
start sending power at a scheudled time is there? My ipod needs 4 hours to
charge exactly, and im not often home at times where i can start it and be
there to disconect it for the 4th hour.
If i could plug it in and schedule it to start at 4 in the morning, itd be
ready to take off at 8.

There a way about this or am i dreaming?
Thanks

If your BIOS supports a scheduled turn-on then you could
start your PC at 4am every day. A simpler way might be
to buy a time clock and use it to charge your iPod.
 
Interesting thoughts pegasus. Thanks for ur relpy i will look into both
options -)

in his reply

"You could use Task Scheduler and AutoIT to enable and disable the USB"

but in view of his silence I suspect that he spoke before he knew the answer
.. . .
 
Sorry just saw this, so by way of explanation.

AutoIt is a scripting system.(download it from the authors site) Simply
script it to open Device manager (devmgmt.msc), walk down the tree, open
the menu and select "Disable". or "Enable" as desired. Use "Task
Scheduler" to run the script disable and enable at the desired times.
