Auto ShutDown

You can make your PC shutdown any time you want.
Here are some tricks.
 
FIRST:-
Step 1:
Right click on your desktop and choose "New” and then “shortcuts".
Step 2:

In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
type in "shutdown -s –t 120" without the quotation marks and click next.
Note: 120 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs+60secs=120secs.
Step 3:
Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
You can change the icon by right clicking and choosing “properties” > “change icon” > “browse” and then select the icon image.
To terminate:
To make an terminate key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.

SECOND:-
Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 3:00am. Go to “start” > “Run” and type
“at 3:00 shutdown –s” without the quotes.
To terminate:
Type in,
“shutdown –a” without the quotes.
Note: all time are in 24hr, example you would like to shutdown at 7:30pm, you should type
"at 19:30 shutdown -s" without quote


THIRD:-
you can use a batch file for that as well it makes it easier to use
just run the batch and enter the time you want it to shutdown. Make a batch file “shutdown.bat” and type in the following code,

@echo off
title Scheduled Shutdown Batch Example by khushifairy
color A
echo Enter Time To Shutdown (example 19:30)
set /p sdowntime=
cls
at % sdowntime % ""shutdown -s -t 00"" >nul
echo Your PC Will Auto Shutdown At % sdowntime %
echo Press Any Key To Exit
pause >nul
exit



also you can add -c "desired message" at the end of the shutdown command
for example,
shutdown -s -t 60 -c "System is going to shutdown"
Using this command you can also schedule your pc to restart
for example,
shutdown -r -t 60 -c "System is going to Restart within 60 secs"

Enjoy... :)
