How to Make a Shutdown Timer

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.

i'm gonna do that, its handy, if my pc is doin a task, i have to go, and i dont wanna shut it down til its finished, thanks

Cool tip tECh... like it!!

Might come in handy for those tasks that don't have an option to shutdown when finished option.

Gad you guys like it. It is a little useful tool and I use it for exactly that paddy...

If you want,you could take that code and write it to a text file....then save it as a batch file.
So you write it as text,then 'save as' with a name like shutown timer.bat. Then you can take that batch file with you on a thumbdrive wherever you go. When you want to use it,just double click thebatch file and it will launch the code.

Now that's one nice little add-in there punqewe...I could use that for other apps I have in mind too. Thx

You'd be surprised how handy a batch file can be....they're good for pranks. One fune line of code in a batch file....kinda pasted into someones startup folder.....makes for some fun times.

Nothing like having someones pc opening 1000 instances of explorer upon startup....hehe.

But enough of that....it is handy to have on a thumbdrive.....or if you can build an exe file with all of them on one app...that'd be cool.

What you could do,is get an app that builds an all in one autoloader...then have the tabs/buttons linked to each batch file. that way you have a window opened when launched and if you want to start the timer...click the 'timer' button.

Might be something to work on.


OK I'm done the autoloader.....works fine as far as I can tell.

It's in the downloads section right now....
