Auto Shutdown Snapshot
Auto Shutdown helps you to schedule Windows shut down and define global keyboard shortcuts for different shut down actions (i.e. turn off, restart, log off, stand by & hibernate).
Different types of time scheduling is supported in Auto Shutdown. You can schedule Windows to turn off at a specific time and date, at specific times on specific week days, after a specific period of time from now, or at a specific time after system reboot.
Features:
- Auto Shutdown is open-source, and does NOT install any Ad ware or Spyware.

Good tool.
1. Can you enhance it by making it as a service?
2. Give the ability for users to postpone the shutdown for desired time like 30mins, 1hr, 2hrs etc. Then prompt again 10mins before desired time expires and countdown should start. If no response within that time shutdown should begin.
Or can you share your source code?
Thanks

Program is a bit worthless actually. When a restart is activated, you cannot log out of the system. Therefore you must run this program while being logged in, hence the request above for making it a Service or at least a Scheduled task.
Unless I am missing something, this would be a huge oversight.

Thanks for this great program.

I have been using Auto-shutdown for awhile now and I love it. Recently it stopped working, though. For some reason it seems to be disabled by default when I start up each day. Any idea why this would happen or how to fix?

Why I can not choose from A.M. and P.M.

I do not have your e-mail to send to you the screenshot.

Ali, it works great now, thanks!!
Here is a suggestion for a future version: it would be good to be able to configure the amount of time after the warning that you have to finish and close down programs before shutdown takes effect. One minute is not enough time for me sometimes.
Again, thanks for a great program!

Could you make a sleep option in windows 7?
I understand there’s a hibernation option, but sleep is quicker.Thank You.
Love your product, keep doing what you’re doing.

Sometimes when I start up my computer I get this error:
Access violation at address 004D3119 in module ‘AutoShutdown.exe’. Read of address 00000038.
It still seems to run ok.

Love your product
One thing that really annoys me – if I set the time for like 3AM – it should shutdown the computer for the following day at this time.
i.e. Lets say its currently 12PM and I set 3AM – then it should set the shutdown for 3AM the following day. At the moment, if I set it for 3AM – it won’t activate unless I do it at 12:01AM.
Is it possible to set this up ? i.e. basically, if the time has passed already – do it for the next day ?
Thx

It’s good work. Please try to add Option of capturing the desktop before the auto shutdown. It’s included in “AMP WinOFF” (freeware with closed source).
