Automatic Shutdown Timer?
« on: July 26, 2004, 22:56 »
Hi guys!

Just wondering does anybody know any software that will turn your pc off at a specified time.  I usually leave my pc on the majority of the night - but was thinking it would be very convenient if I could set a 'timer' to switch it off when desired.

If there is s/w available please let me know

Many thanks!   8)

I have Shutdown Machine installed, which is basic, but does the job.   :)

Hi dnf999,

Well, there?s another way too in which you don?t need any extra program if your system is XP. (I don?t know about the systems precedent to XP).

Right click on an empty space of your desktop and select:

-   ?Property?, then
-   ScreenSaver, then
-   (Down to the right), ?Power management?, then
-   (the lowest one, the last), ?extended inactivity?, (Sorry, I?m translating from French).
-   You have there the possibility to stop your computer after ?one minute? till after ?six hours?
-   Apply, and click OK.
   
That?s it.

God i have trouble imagining having two languages rolling around in my head. Must get confusing sometimes. Ive thought about learning an asian language but ill reserve that task for when i move to an asian country.

Having it turn off isn't something that i would want or need; finding something to turn it back on, would.

That's nothing comparing with you Sandra. You didn't tell him that you can speak even more languages than me.    :)


Hey !!!   by the way Bob:

I was thinking before, that the photo of your profile is your own (which you maybe added these animations to it).

Last week, I saw the same photo on a french forum.   :o

Now, I know no more who's that face of the devil.    ;)    :-X    :-\

Nope its not original, i didn't make it. yea im too lazy to do my own animations. I jump from forum to forum collecting the good icons. Everyonce in awhile ill get in the mood and make a decent one. Not often though.

I normally keep my aim icon and my forum icons the same, but i just haven't gotten around to changing this one.

I just looked her up and saw her picture.



Kirsten Caroline Dunst was born on April 30, 1982 in Point Pleasant, New Jersey

Oh shes very young and pretty isnt she.
Unfortunately I am old enough to be her mother or even possibly just about her grandmother  :o
