how to Auto shut down the system

How do I schedule my shut down .. I tried using Auto Power On& Shut down but it does not shut down the system instead it tries to put it at standby mode.

Can anybody help me or suggest me another software???

u can try the autoshutdown utilityin win-XP manager

XP shutdown command should do it it you spend some time.

If you need another software, then switchoff is best for that job.

I use Shutdown Machine. Extremely small in size and very easy to use. It has the option to force shutdown as well.

Its free and with no limitations. Download it here.

U can create a Shutdown shortcut using the 'shutdown -s -t 00' command and then use the Task Scheduler to set the time of execution.

egg-jackly i use the same... y install anoter software

I know a guy who has an esoteric setup using an alarm clock and a hotwired power switch. Based on the time set on the alarm clock, the mobo gets a switch off command which causes XP to shut down. Don't try this at home :lol:
