This is not a programming question but I don't know where else I can post this. For the past week every day I leave my work I shutdown my computer, the problem is when I come back next day I find it turned on :omg: knowing that no one work in my office after I leave and I close the door of my office and luck it with my key so no one can enter my room. Did anyone of you faced samething? and I want to know know if it is possible to start my computer over the network :confused: and if it possible to the computer to be turned on after a cetian time automatically if yes how can I stop it. I just want to come back and find my computer turned off when I come in the morning. Thanks in advance
I'm going to go with PICNIC. Your computer cannot turn itself back on unless there is a setting in the bios that does this specifically. One of those possibilities is wake on LAN, where the network can wake it up. The other is that the janitor browses porn on your computer before you get in.

Are you sure that you didn't press the restart button
Yes I'm sure.

Of course yes: WOL

It's about sending certain bits in sequence (forming a "magic packet") to the machine in question over the network. If the hardware supports it and if WOL is enabled, then this would "wake up" the machine. You also have an option of reading through the link that I provided, which explains the whole thing in detail! :|

How can I know it it is starting automatically?
Check your BIOS settings.

you SURE it's fully "turning off"? or do you hit shut down and walk away? just curious as I've done that before. hmm... if profile space is exceeding, that may hold you in place from a restart/ shutdown..

Check the Event Viewer. Some services may be set to restart automatically on failure, and you may be experiencing a failure on shutdown. Also, if you've recently restarted your computer it will remember that last action, and set the default shut-down mode to Restart.

unplug the cable, if someone does want to 'illegally' come into your office somehow (cleaning personal mostly have keys to all the doors) he/she will plug it in again...

Pull the plug. Better yet, pull the plug in the back of the machine out just enough to disconnect the power, and put a box or something next to it, to make it look accidental.

We use remote wakeup for a weekly full virus scan. With the added benefit that my computer is already at the login screen monday morning.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Computers are started monday early in the morning, so it ain't "running all the night". Booting up in a domain is a bit ugly, there is one sync process before the login, the other one after that, and they may take some time. So yeah, it's benefit :) Leaving the machine running overnight wouldn't be much of a problem. Some components - e.g. hard drives - may get more wear through power-up than through idling around. But the company is afraid of the fire hazard, so normally most machines are shut down.

If you haven't switched off the main connection. i.e. the switch of the plug to which your power cord is connected, then there are chances, that if you switch on other switches that are running through same line, it switches on your PC. At my home in my room, I have PC's power cord connected to a plug. If by mistake I don't switch off it, there is another switch in the room that lights on my room's tube light, switching on tubelight sends signal to my PC to turn on. Strange but true.
