How to make a batch file to run at a specific time

Hi, My os is xp home sp3,my anti-virus is (Nod32) Eset, i can't shedule a scan at night because the scan won't work if the computer is on sleep.what i like to do, is to make a batch file to open the computer to do the scan job at 2.00 am every day.What i ask is somebody to show me, how to batch file Eset to scan.....Thanks

 

One option would be to create a batch file using command line scanning parameters, then create a scheduled task to run the batch file at the specified time. After creating the task (or during creation using advanced settings), enable the setting 'Wake the computer to run this task'.

You could also just create a task to run anything (play a sound, open and close a command window, whatever) a minute or two prior to the scanning schedule you setup in the Eset GUI, then apply the same 'wake up' setting for the task.
