i have a cousin staying with me for a while and i told her to go to bed before midnight but instead she stayed on the computer until 3am in the morning!
does anyone know a program that allows you to control when the computer gets to shutdown? like a set timer thing?
From there you can determine what you want to use. Test it first!
30 second example:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 30 -c "System Shutdown"
You can also schedule it via the Windows Task Scheduler, which I suppose is what you'll want to do for it to be automatted.
Special note: If you use it you'll need to give enough time for the person to save any opened documents, don't just pull the plug on them that would be rude.

if you want to do that, just type in your "code" into notepad and save it as ANYFILENAME.bat
then go to task scheduler and set it to run that program at a given time.
if you dont want them getting back on, put a password on windows.
(if theyre smart, when the shutdown starts, they can just go to run and type shutdown -a and that will abort it.
