Maybe you are going out or you are downloading but you don't wan't to watch your download.
Well this Howto is for you.
This Howto will give you the code and instructions on how to shut your pc down at a certain time. Without the need of you being there.
First Here is the code
AT 12:00 Shutdown -s
It's as simple as that
That code will shut your pc down at 12 O'clock.
Change the 12:00 to whatever time you want, remember it must be 24 hour clock.
If you wan't to just run this, go to Start > Run
Then paste that code in.
If you want to create a shortcut for quick use. Open notepad, paste in the code, Save as Shutdown.bat
NOT .txt
Or whatever you want to call it, make sure it's a .BAT file
Then just run the batch file & there you have it.
It's invisible but if you want to view the shutdown you can go to
Start > Programs > Accessories > System tools > Schedhuled Tasks
There you can delete or edit it.
Enjoy!
