FAQ

Frequently asked questions
Is it possible let SleepTimer start automatically?
Since version 1.2 it is possible to let SleepTimer start with Windows automatically. There is an option in the preferences. After activation of this option SleepTimer will start with the last used time and action automatically with Windows startup or resume from standby. You can also make an shortcut in Autostart and pass the parameter "FORCE" (without quotation) to the EXE.

Since version 2.2 it is possible to create shortcuts which you can copy to the Windows Autostart folder.
With Windows 10 you just use the keybord keys "Windows" + "R". There you type the command "shell:startup" and ENTER. It is opening the Autostart folder for the user, where you can copy the shortcut file into it.
Shortcuts in SleepTimer can create with main menu "Help" and "Create shortcut". It is possible to create a shortcut for countdown or a profile, to use it for Autostart.
Why I can't activate the automatic start?
Sometimes the autostart option cannot be activated. It can be that a protection software prevent this. Autostart will be activated in the userspace of Windows registry. Some protection software don't let to do so. You could try so set SleepTimer as trusted. UPDATE: With the new included AutostartHelper.exe this information is deprecated.
Is it possible to protect SleepTimer with a password?
If you set SleepTimer to autostart, it is possible to protect SleepTimer from user actions through a password. See Autostart section in preferences.
Will SleepTimer need an internet connection?
SleepTimer doesn't need an internet connection. You can download and copy it to an USB stick, and install it at another computer. Ab sofort hat SleepTimer eine Funktion, die auf neue Updates / Versionen prüft. Das passiert aber nicht automatisch, dazu muss der entsprechende Menüpunkt geklickt werden. SleepTimer "telefoniert" also nicht automatisch "nach Hause".
Is SleepTimer portable?
You can copy the SleepTimer directory to an USB stick or other portable device. The preferences file will be saved in the directory of the EXE.
How to do an upate?
You can check for updates in the main menu. If an update available you download the intall version or ZIP archive. The installer will overwrite all old files with the new ones. If you use ZIP archive, unpack the files and copy it over the old. The preferences file will be stille there and updated with new entries.
How to use profiles?
In general settings you can activate "Use profiles". After restart of SleepTimer there is an option group "Profiles" availabale. Settings like action or time can be saved as a profile. You can also load this profile in this menu. You can use profiles for autostart. With main menu "Help" and "Create shortcut" you can create a shortcut that you can copy in the autostart folder of Windows. More infos in the FAQ "Is it possible let SleepTimer start automatically?"
Where I can find the skins?
The skin files have file extension named .vsf and are located in the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\SleepTimer Ultimate\skins
How I can unlock the alarm mode? (Easteregg)
You must create a new file called "ENABLE_ALERT_ONLY" (without file extension) in the app folder of SleepTimer. On the next start of the app new option "Alert" will be available. App folder is located C:\Program Files (x86)\SleepTimer Ultimate.
Why I can not set the language to "German"?
The German translation needs a language file with file extension .mo which is located after intallation or in ZIP archive in "locale" folder. The whole folder "locale" must be present in the same folder as SleepTimerUltimate.exe. Then the language will be set properly.
