Is there any software for automatic shutting down my pc at fix time??

I am a student & I need such software to download contents at night 12:00 to 3:00 am and after 3 am my pc should shut down automatically..

Guys please help me. My morning time is just spent in school and tuitions and I only get night for using internet..

Yes you can do it easily.

Open Task Manager ---> File ---> New Task(Run...)

And type the following command exactly as it is!

shutdown -s -f -m -t 60

Explanation:

-s will shutdown your computer
-f will force the running programmes to shutdown
-t timmer settings (60 means 60 seconds, calculate the hours in seconds and put it here)

Hope this will help you.

Yes! The command which I gave in my previous post above, does give a warning. It starts the countdown.

You can abort the shutdown by typing:

shutdown -a

This will cancel the shutdown.

@OP: Try Tech2Me's method, it's better than installing some bloatware.

AMP Winoff does the job just fine. You can schedule and also shut off, when it detects no transaction on your data ports..!

You can try Winutilities
It is a tuneup software and has a lot of other system utilities including registry cleaning, auto shutdown( or restart and log off), registry backup and restore, file protection etc.

Simply put in
Code:
shutdown.exe -s -t 10800
and save it as BAT file and copy its path to HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run -> New String value
Hope you know how to handle registry.

Drawback -> It will shutdown computer every 3 hours after you start (unless you work for less than 3 hours during day. At night it's just fine according to your timings).

Use windows task scheduler to execute C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s and set the time u want it to execute..

it gives notification a minute ahead of set time.
