Can I automate Win XP Home SP2 computer to turn on-run a program - cut off at a specific time?

Question

I want to set up a external timer to turn on a computer, run a program for a predetermined time, log off and shut down. This is similar to setting a VCR to record a show then turn off at the conclusion.

I do not want to leave the computer on all the time.

I want an external timer to turn on the computer and have the computer do the rest unattended.

I know how to do the timer and auto start the computer but I need to get around the unattended program execution function
