Under "Scheduled tasks" ... how do i schedule the task to shut down my computer 1 hour or 45 mins from any given time?

Is this possible? Or am I just being hopeful & smoking some bad stuff... LOLWe are not promitted to promote drugs sorry, There is an easier way to do this. Walla a simple small program I like to use called Switch off. It allows you to set a time when the pc will shut down. Has differnt features an will force to close an open programs an counts down when it will shut down. Hope you find this useful.Quote

you can do that...or you can make a batch file(.bat) and type
Code: [Select]At (Whatever) shutdown -s -t (how many seconds) -c (comment)
(whatever) = at what time you want EX: 12:00 AM
(how many seconds) = ....how many seconds untill shutdown EX: 60 or 120
(Comment) = what ever you want to show up EX: shuting down because i said so
