Scheduling a program to run nightly

There is a specific program that I only like to run while I'm sleeping. We'll call it uTorrent. Anyway, is there a way I could schedule it to open at a certain time every night? I have a really bad habit of forgetting to start it before I go to bed and it eats the shit out of my internet connection if I leave it running while I'm doing other stuff.

Thanks in advance.

    Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks, add new that should allow you to do it.

    You can set it up as a scheduled task. Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks.

    I had a feeling it would be that simple. I was just too lazy to check it out myself. Grazi!

    If you're talking about Utorrent it has internal scheduling as well. You can throttle the bandwidth down to zero except for certain times of the day.
