Does Windows (XP) have any built in programs to schedule power on and power off?

I want to get my computer to power off automatically after work, and power on again before I arrive. Is there any way that Windows can do this, or must one use third-party software?

    You could use parental controls to set it to automatically turn off at a certain time....(i don't know about start up) but the only issue is if u had to access the computer after the partental controls kick in you woulldn't be able to.
