Vista Laptop - Auto Boot?

[sgx.saint]

Hi.

Are there any software solutions, preferably freeware or a feature built into Vista that I can use to boot my laptop automatically.

i.e. Depending on the variables I set, such as date and time, the laptop will power on and boot into Vista.

It might be worth looking into the BIOS as some of them have a setting to do that. Our Dells at work do although I am not sure if that's dependant on being connected to a network.

There won't be any software that can do this, as I'd imagine the hard disk needs to be powerd in order for the software to run as does the rest of the machine does. So, as above, check the BIOS as I know on my machine I can set that option for it to boot at a date or set time or if connected it to network.

Thought as much, I will have a mooch around the BIOS.
