Ever wanted to fall asleep to your mp3 playlist? Now you can.
Here’s how:
1. create a new text file and type ‘shutdown -s -f -t 2000′
2. save it as ‘shutdown.bat’ (no .txt file extentsion) somewhere convenient
3. click it to shutdown!
Notes:
- the -s means to shutdown the local pc
- the -f means to force processes to shutdown without user intervention
- the -t sets the time until shutdown, in milliseconds – change this to whatever you want. (2000=33 min. and [&] change)
- to stop the timer at any time before shutdown actually starts, hit Windows-R and type ‘command’ when the command window pops up, just type ‘shutdown -a’ (which means, ‘abort the shutdown.’) then hit enter. then type exit, and hit enter.
enjoy!

AG… I think it is time we switched you over to Mac. What d’ya say?
I’ve been seriously considering that for my next laptop purchase (in about 4 years when this one goes kaput). My brother’s a mac user and has been lobbying pretty hard-core.
