Your Computer At a Specific Time
Here is a
trick to shutdown your computer at a specific time. You might be thinking
what great about it, well you can shutdown your computer without the use of any
software. Just shutdown your computer at specific time from RUN Command. For
example if you wish to shutdown at 09:45 am. Type this in
Start=>Run
Type Code: at 9:45 shutdown -s
To cancel or Abort the shutdown:
Type Code: shutdown -a

Alternative method to create a shutdown timer
or simply computer shutdown shortcut--
Step 1: Right click on your desktop and choose “New=>shortcuts”.
Step 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 , this means 3600 seconds = 60 mints (1 hour). You can change the value in the above code. You can even create multiple shutdown shortcuts. For example a computer shutdown shortcut for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 5 hours etc.,
Step 3: Make up a name for the shortcut and you’re done.
Optional Step 4 : You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse.
