Within the context of the power saving options Windows 98 or Windows 2000/XP/Vista on the NT product side offer, you are able to set your computer either into Standby or into Hibernate mode (if hibernate mode is activated in the power options in the control panel).

• Click in the Windows toolbar on the start button and choose the command "system control".
• Click on the symbol "performance and maintenance" (XP view) and then on "energy options". Or directly on "energy options" (classic 2000/ME view).
• As soon as the dialogue window is displayed, you change to the registering board "rest condition".
• You switch on here the control small box "activate rest condition".

Z-Cron can set the computer into hibernate mode at a certain time with the option to reactivate it again after a period of time you can choose. If the computer should be shut down for example from 1 o'clock am to 9:15, you could create a task with the HIBERNATE command and schedule the task to be started by Z-Cron at 1 o'clock am. For the Wakeup value you can state 8 hours and 15 minutes.
