Shutting a Windows  computer all the way down and then rebooting can cure many computer problems. When you reboot, Windows goes through several self-repair proceses that really can make a difference. But if you leave the computer on all the time (even if it's sleeping or hibernating), the computer never gets a chance to do this cleanup process.

With that important warning, here's how to make Vista reboot automatically overnight:
