Have you ever wondered if it's possible to wake up your system from a Stand-by mode or Hibernation programmatically? The answer is yes, it's possible. This simple utility will show you how. Once activated it resides in the system and wakes it up at a predefined time, runs a file and if necessary sends system into Stand-by mode, hibernates it or shuts it down. It can also be used to send system into "specific" Stand-by mode or hibernation. We can supply it with a source code which will let you modify this concept for your own needs.

Special features:
(1) Can restore almost every Windows operating system from a Stand-by mode (and some from hibernation) that has Advanced Power Management (APM) enabled (Check Control Panel -> Power Options), and a hardware timer support;
(2) Can run a file at a predetermined time after a wake-up, or simply during normal operation;
(3) Can send system back to Stand-by mode (hibernate it or shut-down) after a certain time interval;
(4) Can detect if Stand-by mode (or hibernation) is supported by your system;
(5) Can send system into Stand-by mode or hibernate it with more parameters than via Operating System;
(6) Can be incorporated into in-car (entertainment) PC system to speed up booting time & save battery;
(7) Can be run from the Windows Command Line without user interaction;
(8) Has free source code file download that enables you to modify this concept according to your needs;
(9) New C++/MFC programmers can learn how to create Windows XP compatible dialog-based MFC applications, how to operate dialog window controls, how to run events on timer and Windows threads and synchronization model, how to subclass dialog controls for your specific needs (and to create HTML link in your dialog box in particular), how to enable your application to start from the Windows Command Line and how to run it from the system tray (area next to the Windows system clock in the lower right corner), and much more.
