| | Weird. I thought it existed for Vista but, like you said, it's not there for 7. |

| | I truly hate when the results on Google come up with this forum. 90% of the time the answers are stupid, wrong or just something someone would answer without really reading the OP's question. ****in' hell... |

| | FWIW, I think Task Scheduler is the most valuable thing around in Windows. Pull up Event Viewer (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer) and select (LH side) caret by SYSTEM LOGS. Then select SYSTEM. Scroll and find the time when your PC just woke up from sleep. The event ID will be 1 and source column will be Power-Troubleshooter. Highlight that and then right-click and select Attach task to this event. Then do your thing by setting up all the applet panels. Here's mine (using the COPY tile from the lower pane): Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Power-Troubleshooter Date: 12/28/2011 8:31:26 PM Event ID: 1 Task Category: None Level: Information Keywords: User: LOCAL SERVICE Computer: Jim-GLH Description: The system has resumed from sleep. Sleep Time: 2011-12-28T23:36:50.608543500Z Wake Time: 2011-12-29T01:31:18.170801200Z Wake Source: Unknown Test by simply issuing a MESSAGE when that event occurs (will present a popup window for you of text). |
