Automatic restart after power failure

Can anyone help me on this, please?

I am running XP Home with SP2 and need to have my computer automatically
restart and run Explorer after such things as a power failure. I will be
monitoring my home security via video cam and want to have access to live
feed if something happens while I am gone. THANK YOU so much for any ideas.

Automatic restart is not a Windows function but a function
of the BIOS. Get into your BIOS setup program and have
a look at the power options. If unsure how to do this,
consult your motherboard manual.
