    How can I set shutdown timer in windows 7????

    As my title suggest I want to know how can I set shutdown timer in windows 7???? I know that it can be done via Task Scheduler after creating a basic task for shutting it down it. However, I don’t want to try that long method, I want to know if there is any other shortcut method. I mean if I can create a shortcut for triggering the shutdown task after some time and so?? Any idea??

    Well I don’t know if that’s possible by creating a shortcut or not but you can surely do that via command prompt using below command:
    "at 11:00 shutdown -s"
    Make sure that you are entering the command without quotes and hit enter after typing it. You can specify the time on 24 hour basis, Hope that helps.

    Not working, it says:
    ‘at’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    I have entered the command exactly as you have mentioned but it’s not working out in my case. Are you sure "at 11:00 shutdown -s" works for windows 7?? Is it working for you??

    Try this command in command prompt without quotes:
    "shutdown -s -t 20000"

    -s for shutdown
    -r for restart
    -t for time

    In case you get any error, then take a screen shot of the same and post it in your next reply for further help.

    Still not working, this time it says:
    ‘shutdown’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    Here is the screenshot:
