So you're in the middle of downloading a large file, or sending a huge batch of photos to your mom. The file transfer's going to take another 40 minutes, and you really want to hit the sack. But you don't want to leave your computer on all night sucking up energy.
WinOFF is a nifty utility that lets you schedule all sorts of power-related actions. You can set your computer to shutdown 60 minutes from now. Or you can tell it a specific time to shut down. There's even an option to shut down the system when your CPU is idle, under the assumption that this means your computer is probably finished with whatever task you set for it.
Don't want to do a complete shutdown? You can put your computer in suspend or hibernate mode. Or if you just want to make sure your PC is fresh and ready to go in the morning, you can schedule a middle of the night reboot.
some of the features quoted from the creator's Site:
Shut down the computer at certain hour (e.g. at 12:00).
Shut down the computer in several minutes (e.g. in 15 minutes).
Shut down the computer when the CPU becomes idle.
Several types of shut down (shut down, restart, log off, power off, suspend, hibernate and lock computer).
Option for hang up the modem instead of doing a shut down.
Option for set a password to protect the access to the configuration.
Complete command line support for batch process.
Option for capture the desktop and/or execute a program before the shut down.
Option for run the program when starting Windows session, for daily programmed shut down.
Immediate shut down and computer lock from the traybar icon menu.
Option for show an alert window, which allow the cancellation of the shut down.
Works with Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP.
Dual English/Spanish version.

Very useful information. But in Windows XP we can schedule shutdown and restart using “shutdown.exe” file. We can schedule to run this file with their various options using scheduled task. In Windows 98, Windows 2000 we can use rundll.exe and rundll32.exe with their options for scheduling shutdown and restart. Anyway thank you for posting resources like this. Keep it up.
