    Shutdown Your PC With a Timer

    know you can make your PC shutdown at a time u wish

    Just follow the instruction.

    How To Make A Shutdown Timer!

    METHOD 1

    Step 1:

    Right click on your desktop and choose "New=>shortcuts".

    Step 2:

    In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
    type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" without the quotation marks and click next.

    Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins= 3600secs.

    Step 3:

    Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
    You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse.

    To abort:

    To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
    the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.


    METHOD 2

    Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in
    start=>Run

    Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s


    to abort

    Code:

    shutdown -a


    take note: all time are in 24hr, example u would like to shutdown at 8:30pm, you should type

    "at 20:30 shutdown -s" without quote


    METHOD 3

    you can use a batch for that as well it makes it easier to use
    just run the batch and enter the time you want it to shutdown

    shutdown.bat
    Type Code:
    @echo off
    title Scheduled Shutdown Batch Example by chacha1234
    color A
    echo Enter Time To Shutdown (example 19:30)
    set /p stime=
    cls
    at %stime% ""shutdown -s -t 00"" >nul
    echo Your PC Will Auto Shutdown At %stime%
    echo Press Any Key To Exit
    pause >nul
    exit

    also you can add -c "desired message" at the end of the shutdown command
    for example
    shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Shutdown Pc"

    using this command u can also schedule ur pc to restart
    for example
    shutdown -r -t 60 -c "Restarting Pc"
