This could be a very essential tool for DVR purposes. I think the biggest improvement would be to engineer it for multi wakeup events with a single screen to view all that are enabled. I don\'t like having an entry in the systray for each event.I would also like some info on how to get around the User Access Control in Vista. If the pc is rebooted, often it marks each entry & keeps it from running until I specifically enable it.

I think it is a great idea. Unfortunately not simple enough for my needs: a small non resident utility to remote boot a remote PC on demand.Good tool though.

I\'ve had this in use on my desktop and laptop for the past couple of months and it has performed just \'as it says on the label!\'After a bit of a learning curve (do read the manual!!) it is simple to use and probably covers many, many useful schedules of use - but if you want to change your arrangements you have to create a new schedule - re-entering the previous stuff while incorporating the changes. (There is a means of keeping a record of old arrangements - but I haven\'t gone in to that. This is ...

Good job! That was what I needed!

cool application, a bit hard to understand the parameters but after some tests it does exactly what I expected.

Since installing on Vista Home edition I\'ve had two Explorer lock ups - still trying to identify cause but looks like it has upset something...

Having installed the software only about 48 hours ago,I have not yet used or tested all the modules featured in the program, but the ones I have used performed flawlessly. This is a very useful product and I intend to register it so as to take advantage of receiving all future updates.

I purchased it. This is my first shutdown timer software that also supports hibernate. Everything worked perfectly and I purchased it already.

Recommendation Really satisfied. Works smoothly and definitely.It very usable instead of shortcuts, "built in notebook".

Won`t work with printer I purchased Shut Down Expert for the "hibernates/awakens" feature. However, after the computer awakens my deskjet D1320 printer will not work. Prior to installing SDE, the printer worked fine. I must restart the computer for the printer to work after hibernation. SDE tech support says that it's the printer driver. HP printer support, after extensive trouble shooting, said to uninstall SDE, that the SDE software was the cause of the problem since the printer works fine without it installed. So, I'm left with the "shut down/restart" option if I continue to use SDE. I'm not a satisfied customer ...

Didn\'t help.Want app for Server 2003, not PC.

Hello,easy to use and effective!

Not working I tried to install it on my laptop to control my desktop which I used as my server for files. But it doesn't work when I tried to restart or shut it down.

Fire wall. If the fire wall windows XP is on, my server 2003 and an other pc with xp can not shutdown a workstation, I have open the port 4444 and nothing.

Could not get it to work We could not get it to work. It seemed to work but then it never shut down. We tried various methods, read the text files and then finally just gave up and used something else in a command line and made a batch file for schedule. But I like the application - I think I just couldn't figure out how to make it work.

catchup microsoft! Nice program. found no adware, spyware, or worms... but still buyer beware which is nice because its free, and yes it works. i even can use it without a username password which is why i downloaded in the firstplace... enjoy!

easy to use, does what it says on the tin .. nice program

It does exactly what it says. I needed that. Thank you!

This is really wonderful tool. I really enjoyed it. Its working on my windows vista very well.

It\'s a very good software...It was help full in my exam days

Sadly it didn't work for me. It wasn't the fault of the program, it was in the OS configuration.

It has all the functions and features I need but I have struggled to get it to work consistently.Thanks

Wakeup – save settings possibility It’s possibly to saving parameters for next time when run wakeup.exe? I need to launch automatically a program at every wakeup from standby, to enable a device.

It\'s early days yet but so far the alarm clock is working fine for me. Surprising that something like this doesn\'t come with the operating system?!

Finally! I have an hard time waking up in the morning as my sleeping habits aren't regular at all, (the hours I usually need to wake up are 2am, 4am, 6am, 11am) - and I also sleep very little (as much as 3-4 hours per day during work days). And lately I couldn't even hear my alarm clock anymore as I'm so much used to all of its sounds. But this morning I have been awaken up by one of my favourite songs, very softly. My mind immediately turned on, and I am now perfectly awake, in a happy mood, and ...
