ScreenSaver with password

[Waldek]

I leave my workastation switched on to copy files from server
to my workstation in night.
When Copy is finished I use freeware program "shutdown" to
turn off my workstation.
I created task with task manager. I secure my workstation
with screensaver with password. When copyingis finished
and "shutdown" should bee executed screensaver is turning
on and wait for password.

How can I switch off my workstation without user
intervention?

You may need to disable your screensaver password if it is interfering by
using display properties/screensaver and deselect password protect.
SysInternals has a free program calles PSShutdown which you can use via
Scheduled Task to shutdown your computer at a certain time or after an idle
period. See the link below if you want to try it. --- Steve
