[discussion_vu] Schedule Computer Shutdown After Specific Period of Time::::::

First of all let me tell you that with this shutdown schedule method you don't need to install any application or software in your computer. So let's start this mini how to.

1. We need to calculate after how long we want computer to be shutdown. We have to put specific amount of time in seconds like if you want your pc to turn off after 2 hours then it will go like this. 2 hours are 120 minutes so 120 * 60 = 7200 seconds.
2. Right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
3. Copy and paste "shutdown.exe -s -t 7200″ (copy without quotes) in the only text field available in new shortcut window and change "7200″ with your desired time.
4. Click next and write short cut name "Schedule shutdown"
5. Click "Finish" that's it.

 

Now you have a Computer shutdown button. If you double click it your computer will be scheduled to shutdown after 2 hours. (or the desired time you specify)

Well what If you scheduled the download and then planned to keep your system turned on. You'll have to abort preciously scheduled shutdown. Now let me explain how to make an abort button for shutdown scheduling.

1. Right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
2. Copy and paste "shutdown.exe -a" (copy without quotes) in the only text field available in new shortcut window.
3. Click next and write short cut name "Abort scheduled shutdown"
4. Click "Finish" now you have abort scheduled shutdown button

Well readers you are done. With "Schedule shutdown" button you'll start the shutdown countdown and with "Abort scheduled shutdown" your computer will remain on and won't auto shutdown.
