Shut Down at a regular time

If you want to ensure that your Windows 7 computer shuts down at the same time every day (or night) without having to go through the shutdown process manually All you have to do is create a scheduled task. Here is how: - 1. Click the Start button and in the search box, type Scheduled tasks 2. Click the item when it appears in the search results list under "Control Panel." 3. In the Task Scheduler console, in the Actions pane on the right, click "Create Basic Task ...". 4. In the Wizard page that opens, give the task a name such as "Shutdown" and write a description, such as "Shut down the computer at 1:00 a.m. every day." (or whatever) 5. Click Next. 6. On the Task Trigger page, select "Daily" and click Next. 7. On the Start Date and Time page, fill in the date and time you want to begin (such as 2/9/11 and 1:00 a.m.) and click Next. 8. On the Action page, click "Start a Program" and click Next. 9. On the Start a Program page, in the Program/script field, type: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe 10. Windows is installed on a drive other than C, substitute that drive letter. 11. Click Next. 12. Review the Summary page and click Finish. Now Windows will automatically shut down at 1:00 a.m. each day. You'll get a pop-up notification telling you, before it does so, "Windows will shut down in less than a minute."
