Auto Shutdown?

[Anthony Marlow]

Hi All,

I have searched all over, and cannot come up with a
solution to my problem. What I would like to do is have
my computer shut itself down at a scheduled time.

Basically, I often put in a DVD movie at bedtime, and
fall asleep while watching the movie--helps me get to
sleep. The problem is, when the movie is over, it sends
you to the menu screen, and the music wakes me up.

What I would like to do is find a way to have the
computer shut down after the DVD movie is over, or at
least, arrange things so I can shut is down like
the "sleep" mode on regular TV's where you can set it to
turn off at various times: ie: 90 minutes, 120
minutes . . . you see what I mean.

Like I said, I have searched the net, and have not been
able to come up with a solution that would let me do
this. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help
me out with this! I love to fall asleep watching my
movies, but I hate waking up to that music on the DVD
menu screen!

Thanks for your help, and God Bless all who read this!
Anthony

Simple. First create a shortcut to shutdown the computer.
Create a new shrotcut(right click desktop, new, shortcut) and point it here:
(copy and paste if needed)
%windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 05

Then create a scheduled task(start, all programs, accessories, system tools,
scheduled tasks) to run the shortcut at a certain time. When the time comes
the shortcut runs and the computer shuts down.
