Rebel=UK= Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 yeah could you not shedule a task go to START>>>Programs>>>Accessories>>System tool>>>Sheduled Tasks Then just make a new task and find the shut down C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 its not as easy as rebel has saidFirst things firstMake a new shortcut on your dektop, to do that right click desktop and select new and then shortcut. Next a box will appear, cut and paste the command line below and press next until the short cut is on the desktop%windir%\System32\Shutdown.exe -s -t 0Ok next thing to do is go to START>Programs>Accessories>System tool>Sheduled Tasks When you do the above make sure you click on browse and then click on the shutdown.exe on the desktop and set it to whenever you want it to shut down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
