Is it a Win7/Vista machine? If yes, you can install an Auto-shutdown gadget. Even I use it.

Get it here : Download AutoShutdown Vista Gadget 1.4.1 Free - An automatic shutdown utility on your desktop or sidebar - Softpedia

Do this
1)Press Win+R
2)Enter this - shutdown.exe -s -t 10
3)press enter

Done, Your pc will shutdown in 10 sec( just replace 10 with desired time in sec)
Only method i know to abort it is to type "shutdown.exe -a" in run(without quotes)

BTW you can also create a shortcut for it

Try using startmenu7. Its a better start menu and has the ability to schedule all types of shutdowns also.

No better method than to use built in utility.
Make batch files and just double click them to set the timer.

Dude, for restart, logoff and hibernate also, you can use the same inbuilt method "shutdown" as told by Niilesh.
only you have to change the arguments like -s for shutdown, -h for hibernate, -r for restart and -l for logoff
