How to set shutdown time for a system



         Step 1.


         Right Click on your desktop and choose "New->Shortcut".


         Step 2.


         In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
         type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" with out the quotation marks
         and click next.


         Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your
         computer shuts down. So, 60secs*60mins=3600secs.


         Step 3.


         Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
         You can change the icon by right clicking->properities->change icon-> browse.


         More Info:
         To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create
         another shortcut and make the "location of the shortcut"
         to "shutdown -a" without the quotes.
