Comment on Auto Shutdown by Ali Keshavarz

Hi Dariush,
I am glad Auto Shutdown has been useful for you. The warning message is just a warning, nothing more. It just indicates that Hibernation (or Standby) is not available on the system; therefore user can not configure Auto Shutdown for such an action.

Best Regards,
Ali

Greetings,

Your ‘Auto Shutdown’ is a very useful program and I have used it for years.
I use it on a highly configured ‘Windows 7′ x64 in which anything related to Hibernation or sleeps and so on is disabled.
I Always delete the ‘hidden Hibernate file’ on root system drive using “powercfg.exe -h off” command and, only after deleting this system file, when ‘Auto Shutdown’ starts, it shows this message:

> Warning
> Your system does not support Hibernation

I didn’t notice any changes in program’s settings, but may it cause any malfunctions running ‘Auto Shutdown’ without this system file?

There is {$TYPEDADDRESS ON} compiler directive. I use it while developing.
If you used it, you wouldn’t have made such mistake. However, it could be not comfortable sometimes.

Hi,

If it is installed properly, you should have a folder named Auto Shutdown in your start menu. Inside the folder there should be Auto Shutdown icon. Running the application will pop-up a configuration dialog, and will add an icon in your system tray which you can use to bring up the configuration dialog.

Best Regards,
Ali

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the late reply. Hibernation is a type of system sleep in which all the current data in computer RAM will be saved on the hard disk, and the system will be shutdown. Next time you turn on your system, it will load RAM content from hard disk, and you can continue your work from where you had left it.

When you start Auto Shutdown, it checks what kind of sleep or shutdown methods your system supports, and if any of the methods are not available in your system, it will show you a pop-up to indicate that particular method won’t work on your machine. So there is nothing to be worried about.

Regarding tray icon color, whenever Auto Shutdown starts, it checks if there is any active schedule set for today, if there is, then it shows the red icon, indicating a schedule is active. If no schudle is set for today, then the icon will be gray.

Best Regards,
Ali
