How do I make a script that will...

Lotus

How do I make a script that will restart my computer automatically say every monday morning? I had at one time a simple batch file that would restart my computer using scheduled task manager to execute it, but I can't find it, and there must be some new way to script the same thing to do it more efficiently.

I have to print some email for filing. Some emails come with attachment. Problem is when I print the email, the printed header never shows some reference to the attachment. This is important for me to quickly know if the email still has some other relevant documents.

Has anybody worked with the Winstall lite that comes on the Win2k Server CD? I get it to work for some applications but not others. It's weird because it is some of the more simple programs that are causing problems.
