Skwire Empire - Boot Snooze


I love this one and have it installed on both my tiny Netbooks. This guy also has a ton of other free and very useful software.

From The Site:

Skwire Empire - Boot Snooze:

Description: This simple app will:
Give you a choice to reboot and go into standby or hibernation.
It will then reboot your computer.
After the reboot, a small dialog with a countdown timer will begin.
After the timer is up, your computer will be put into the mode you chose.
Note: For hibernation to work, your computer must have 'Enable hibernation' already checked under your Control Panel, Power Options, Hibernate tab. Otherwise your computer will probably just go into standby mode."

Here's a list of some of the other projects he's been working on. When you have an extra hour or so on the weekend, and you're geeky like me - check out his other stuff:


Almost all of the freeware available on my site is in direct response to a request on theCoding Snacks forum of DonationCoder. Admittedly, some of them are of a "one-off" type of nature, but that's how Coding Snacks go sometimes. That being said, I try to build enough functionality and intuitiveness into them so that others besides the original poster might be able to get some use out them.
All of the applications are written in AutoHotkey. Pick an app from the sidebar menu to learn more about it. They are all freeware with no strings attached.
