<div class="IPBDescription">At a certain time?</div> Well, I've got Desert Combat downloading right now, but it's going to take another 40 minutes, and I want to sleep now. Can I set my computer to shut down in 45-ish minutes?
is it possible to write and execute that by writing that command into a .bat file ?
thx for answers
p.s. dont want to try it right now <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

How to create a bat file with the shutdown thingie
(make sure you don't hide known file extensions!) goto your desktop/place where you want the file
right click
click new
click textfile/the notepad thingie
now the place where you put the name in is blue, so type a name that ends with .bat, like "shutdown.bat" (without the quotes)
confirm the renaming, left click somewhere else or something
right click on the .bat file
click edit (In Dutch its "bewerken") I'm not sure what it is in English
I hope your notepad came up, if not make sure you open the .bat file with notepad
put in the following line:
"shutdown -s -t 7200" (without the quotes)
save the .bat file
this way, if you execute the .bat file, it will give a dialog saying that your system will shutdown in 2 hours.
the dialog will look like this: (I'm Dutch so my Windows is Dutch and the message is Dutch <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) <img src='http://zaggy.webspace4free.biz/shutting%20down.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
PS: if you happen to the click the .bat file by accident, goto run and type "shutdown -a" (without the quotes)
just tried it didnt work the way u described it u forgot to mention that the file has to be located in ur windows/system32 folder
otherway u get a dosbox with th line "shutdown -s-t 7200" being printed all the time
but now it works thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

edit: control panel/power options/power schemes/system standby in 2 hours or so...
-Click Start
-Click Run
type "shutdown -s -t #" without the quotes
and put an amount of seconds in the place of the #
like 3600 = 1 hour
like 7200 = 2 hour
etc
if you want to abort it repeat the same,
but type "shutdown -a" (without the quotes)
