[regan1985]

Doesn't utorrent have a built in scheduler?

There are a few task schedulers available that will do what you want, but I can't find any that are free.

HERE is one for $40

You can use the built in windows scheduler to launch a command (which would be launching utorrent.exe). You can also close utorrent, in the same process, if it has a kill switch.

Found it.

To open utorrent...

Use the windows scheduler to open <specified location>\utorrent.exe

To close utorrent...

Use the command "taskkill /f /im utorrent.exe"
