anyone know of any free schedulling PC shut down software?

i tried that, and it's not working well, once i fill in my administration password then it gives an error code, i heard you need to type /r to the command line in the properties box of that sheduled task is that true?

really if you could tell me of a software that i could download?

TIA
 
There is no really any need to download anything, you can do it in loads of ways...

Create a new shortcut to "Shutdown -s -t x" with x being time in seconds. So an hour from now would be 3600 and so on.

Or use Windows task scheduler to launch a program at a certain time. The program being C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s

You could even write a batch file. If you really really must download something then I hear WinOFF is pretty good.
 
I set this up on my sons PC it drives him MAD it turns the PC off each evening and restricts his login

shutdown.bat contains

c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -f -s

And i run this on his PC in a batch file to set it up

net user "Rupert" /time:M,6:00-21:00;T,6:00-21:00;W,6:00-20:00;Th,6:00-21:00;F,6:00-23:00;Sa,6:00-23:00;Su,6:00-20:00

at \\rupertpcxp 20:00 /every:m,t,th "c:\windows\shutdown.bat"
at \\rupertpcxp 20:00 /every:su,w "c:\windows\shutdown.bat"
at \\rupertpcxp 22:00 /every:F,SA "c:\windows\shutdown.bat"



works on vista and XP, I think I made the schedule service start with an admin account
 
guys,

Thanks very much for your replies and awesome help, i had found easysleep and installed that but then found i would have to pay for the full version. I saw that winoff is free, so i used this instead.

Thanks guys
