I've read the other people's response to this, and I'm going to take a different tact. I leave mine running 24/7. But the only reason I do is because I use Win 2000 and XP. The Win9x family has memory leaks which can lead to crashes over time so eventually you have to reboot. 2000 and XP don't suffer the same leaks. I can leave mine running for days and never have a problem. I do turn it off when I am going to be gone for extended periods of time but that's about it.

Earlier I had read that this was not a good idea. Leaving on 24/7 would facilitate some task scheduling, but... What do you experts recommend? TIA.
