The only main reason for you wanting to do this that i can think of is if your downloading and want the PC to turn off after its downloaded. If this is the case then their are many programs which will allow you to do this. Such as 'GetRight' which gives the option to have your PC shut down after a download has finsihed.

If this is not the reason for you wanting to do this obviosuly post again with the reason.

Check your bios. I've seen some computers that could be set to both come on and shut off by a setting in the bios... I beleive my old Abit could do that and my Tester(IBM) can. I'm sure there's software too, but I don't know of any right off.

I used a program called SystemShutdown, it works great for during various tasks at a specific time. It also has the ability to be shut off from another computer on the network.

I use KillWin. Works fine and it's free.

Here is a free program that works well called Intelligent Shutdown 1.25:

It is good, it can shutdown, restart, hibernate, open programs, close programs at your specific time, per a timer, when a program ends etc

Have a look

I have a program...its called "Scheduled Tasks" . It comes with Windows and you can run any exe with it.

All you need to do is schedule a time to run windows shutdown task (WINDOWS\System32\shutdown.exe)

C:\Documents and Settings\Dave>shutdown /?
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without war
ning
-d [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)
