A very simple and very efficient method by which we can schedule a calculator that is close alone, after one time range established by us.
The method does not involve installing any application. All we have to do is write a command line in “Run” (for Windows XP) or in “Search programs and files” (Windows 7).

How to program a computer, with Windows 7 OS, to close alone (Auto Shutdown)

We want to do PCto give it auto shutdown after one hour (3600 seconds).
In Start -> Search programs and files -> WRITE “shutdown -s -t 3600” -> Enter.

After we press the key Enter, in the right-hand corner a message will appear, announcing that the operating system will close in 60 minute.

If in the meantime you change your mind and want to Cancel the Auto Shutdown, taste:

shutdown -a

As 10 minutes before closing the system, you will receive a warning message.

This method is also valid for operating systems Windows XP and Windows Vista.
For a more complex utility, see Vista Shutdown Timer.
