Hi Gordon,

If it's XP, go to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled
Tasks.

New Task, and select the Browse button.

Browse to c:\windows\system32 and select "shutdown.exe"

You'll get a window with a number of Radio buttons, select "Run Once
Only"

You may also need to confirm username and password.

I suggest you test this well before 10pm to ensure it works.

George.

Subject: [access-uk] Shutting Down the Computer


Hello, Folks

First of all, I am wanting to record a program between 10 pm and 12 
midnight.  This is no problem as I have the software to do this.

However, I am wondering if anyone knows of a program or procedure
which I 
could use to shut down the computer completely after the program has 
finished.

I don't want to leave the computer running overnight, and also don't 
particularly want to get out of bed to come down and turn it off.

Regards

Gordon Atkinson
