| 539767 | 2007-04-10 07:16:00 | Under windows xp, is there any way to set the compter to turn off or on in a pre-defined time (say I want to set the PC to turn off by itself at 10pm)? Or is there any free software that helps to do this? thanks | dragonball7002 (12004) | ||
| 539768 | 2007-04-10 07:32:00 | You could place the following command into a batch file C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 This shuts down your PC immediately - if you wish to invoke a time delay replace 00 with a a number od seconds that you wish the delay to be. Open Notepad - paste this command into it and save that file as <Name>.bat Name being what you decide to call it. The use Windows Scheduler to run the batch at a specified time - this can be accessed in the Scheduled Tasks function under Control Panel. The only hassle with this is you must log into your PC with an account/password combo - scheduler will not work without this. |
