How do I make my computer turn off at the same time every night?

My computer is constantly running and I am scared of losing a lot of the pictures and letters. I am too cheap to buy a cd burner and I am too broke to buy anything else. If I am running Windows XP home and I want to turn off the computer automatically at the same time every night is that possible?

Answer #1

I know it’s been forever since you’ve asked this,

but there’s a great program I use.

It’s called PC Auto Shutdown. It’s small and you can set a timer so it automatically shuts down your computer every night for you.

Erm… Unless your computer shuts off randomly and without notice, You dont need a backup program. Your stuff should be fine in that case.

Answer #3

There are a few free backup services out there. A good one is Xdrive: http://www.xdrive.com/backup.jsp

You get 5 GB free (which should backup most of your data), so you can stop worrying about losing your stuff.
