How To Make A Shutdown Timer!

********** METHOD # 1 ***************
  1. Right click on your desktop and choose "New=>shortcuts".
  2. In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
    type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" without the quotation marks and click next. Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins=3600secs.
  3. Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
    You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse
TO ABORT:
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.


********* METHOD # 2 **************{EASIER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE}


Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in

start=>Run

Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s

TO ABORT:
Code:shutdown -a

i suppose you have to have the function hibernate to be able to hibernate time shutdown your computer...
thought according to me you should stick to -s or -r (shutdown or restart)
Do you find this valuable?

would there be a way to make the computer to hibernate instead? I also am wondering how the computer knows am or pm. I tried the run option (method 2) but couln't get it to work! I think that it would be neat to get method 2 to work.

SO i messed with it for about half an hour and got th e 2nd method to work. you have to use 24-hour time so that is how the am/pm thing works, but I am still wondering about hibernating?
