Hi to all,
I am the admin in the company i work for and would like to do the following: When I leave the office i leave the pc on because I have installed Proxy+ and it must be running at least until 10:00 every day. My question is how can I lock the pc and shut it down automatically at a certain time, lets say 11:00. I use the "lock computer" option but if I use a shutdown utility it cannot turn the pc off unless it forces it to. The bad thing abt tt is tt every time I turn it on the pc is scanning the disk foe errors due to the force shutdown action. I dont want to do an abnormal shutdown every time, is there any utility tt can lock and shutdown the pc without forcing it ??
