Auto Start PC

I am running Win 2000 Pro - can I set my PC to power on automatically at a set time when it is switched off?

you can do it in the BIOS... Just make sure you properly shut down your system, no hibernation or pressing the power button. Usually, it;s under power management of sorts. I used to use it for my alarm, but i now just keep my computer on for Folding@home... check out teh thread in the distributed computing forums

I am sure you are .. please read the FAQ about spamming. Let me stress, this is NOT a board for posting stuff "because you can", people come here to ask & receive help to their tech questions. This is NOT an IM or IRC.
This was a real question by someone who wanted to get an answer, and your post shows that you are yet to grasp the use of this board.
