WakeupOnStandBy by www.dennisbabkin.com

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to wake up your PC from a Stand-by mode programmatically? Yes, it's possible. This simple utility will show you how. Once activated it resides in the system and wakes it up at predefined time, runs a file and if necessary sends system back into Stand-by. It could also be minimized to a system tray to save space on the screen. We can supply it with a source code to let you modify this concept for your needs.

WatchOverEnergy by AKS-Labs

Many users are willing to reduce their energy use and costs, but some time standard stand-by functions are too annoying. For instance, computer monitor can change to stand-by mode when user is watching movie or reading a long article and simply don't move mouse or press any keys. It is easy to fine-tune WatchOverEnergy program, telling it not to activate monitor stand-by mode when you are running specific programs or some files are opened.

TOff by www.dennisbabkin.com

Handy utility for those who'd like to leave their computer unattended and then to automatically turn it off. TOff can turn off your computer (or hibernate, when possible) at a certain day and time with seconds discrepancy. I use it every time when I leave my computer at office to download some stuff from the Internet and then to turn it off at night so that it looks like nothing happened in the morning. MFC source code is available for review.
