i posted this earlier in another thread and decided to post it here in tut island too : )
if you guys just want to run a certain amount of definite hours till your computer shuts down then..
1. open notepad
2. copy paste this in
shutdown -s -t 14400 -c "computer shutdown"
3. after the t is the amount of seconds the computer will stay on. right now its set for 4 hours. 4*60*60=14400.
4. then save the file as shutdowncomp.bat
5. then just click on the file and a timer will begin. and there you go.
6. to change the time after you already saved it just right click on the shutdowncomp icon and click on edit and just change the amount of seconds. REMEMBER ITS ALWAYS TIME IN SECONDS!
7. oh and if you change your mind and want to get rid of the timer just do this.
go to START > run> then type in shutdown -a and the timer will disappear.
yup : )
