Can I get my PC to Turn off at a certain time ?

[sut]

Just wondering if the following is possible. I normally leave my computer running overnight whilst using emule. But I would like my system to shut down automatically at 6:00AM every morning. Is it possible to do this ?

I'm assuming you're running Windows? If so there's loads of freeware utils to do this for you:

Just one example

Windows 95 had this feature built-in I believe, at least with the Plus-Pack. It also had the feature to turn on at a certain time! How does it keep track of when to turn on, if it's off? It was like magic at the time!

Just what i'm looking for Thanks very much

I'm sure it can be done as a scheduled task but vague memories of trying a similar thing when I used to run eMule and finding that it wasn't switched off when I asked it to be.

Too easily done! Of all places the shut-off feature is part of the screensaver menu. Here goes:

right click the desktop>properties>screensaver tab>power button>advanced tab, and you can change the settings there.

No shareware necessary. This may be slightly different on your machine, I run win2k, but it should be mostly the same in XP. Vista is a whole different story, I don't know how to change that.

Hope this helps!
