Shut down at a certain time

[Guest]

I just don't understand. I want my computer to shut down a few hours from
now. If I set the "Power Options", and then "Turn off Hard Disks" to a "After
2 Hours", does that mean that it starts counting down from now, or once it's
finished what it's doing? Any help would be appreciated. - Very inexperienced
