Make your computer shutdown at a desired time !!

1. Right click on your desktop and choose “New=>shortcuts”.
2. In the box that says “Type the location of the shortcut”,
type in “shutdown -s -t 3600″ without the quotation marks and click next. Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins=3600secs.
3. Make up a name for the shortcut and you’re done.
You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse

TO ABORT:
To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the “location of the shortcut” to ” shutdown -a” without the quotes.

********* METHOD # 2 **************

Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in

start=>Run

Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s

TO ABORT:
Code:shutdown -a



Love happen's once and the rest is just life!!!!

This is really useful, thank you!

But will this make it shut down at the specific time you choose every day?

Thanks
