| | Re: Task Scheduler Question-Wake Up Computer Brink - Yes, I am aware of your link. However, as you go through the steps, it requires you to insert in a look-in window a program/script notation. And, I don't know what to put there. My reason for waking my computer is to allow it to run a scheduled backup program, which requires my PC to be on.

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Task Scheduler Question-Wake Up Computer Jerry, Could you not not just have the "Windows Defender" task set to wakeup the computer a bit before your backup program is scheduled to run? Afterwards, you can adjust the return to sleep timeout to be long enough for you backup program to start and finish running.
