What's a pref. free program that automatically shutdowns your computer at a certain time?

Question

Does Microsoft have a tool that does this? I need my PC to shutdown at a certain time after my stuff has downloaded. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use task scheduler to run the following batch file

you can use any text editor to make a batch file.  i.e. notepad just change the extension to .bat

Make a batch file .bat extension

put this in the batch file

shutdown.exe -s

pause

shutdown.exe -a

if you press any key it will stop the shutdown

Or you could just schedule shutdown.exe to run with the -s option.
