TravelMate2420. Can I let it boot up and/or close down on a specific time?

I have, a.o., a TravelMate2420. Can I let it boot up and/or close down on specific times?

It's one of my Acers, the oldest, and I want to use it for monitoring my sunpanels.

That program will start up after boot and close down while closing down the system.

The program uses COMports and for datasavings harddiskspace AND a part of the machines memory, so it has to shut down regularly before the machines' memo is full. And then start up clean and so on. Aprox a week of data will do, so a weekly restart of the system would be needed.

If timer doesn't work I can use the local network option. But how?

Then use Windows Task sceduler to run the tasks you want. You may want to look at how to make batch files.
