Nice, Simple Short-cut Puts Shut-down Timer on Windows

[engine]

There's a nice, simple trick to add a shut-down or re-start timer to Windows, and I often wish there were more productivity enhancements like this.

To create a shutdown timer manually, open Command Prompt and type the command shutdown -s -t XXXX. The "XXXX" should be the time in seconds you want to elapse before the computer shuts down. For instance, if you want the computer to shut down in 2 hours, the command should look like shutdown -s -t 7200.

If you want to restart your computer on a delay, use shutdown -r -t XXXX instead. Nice, Simple Short-cut Puts Shut-down Timer on Windows [cnet.com]

I can't seem to think of a situation where setting a shut-down time would apply, but then I haven't turned off my computers in months. I sleep them, but never power them down. Last time I turned them off I moved to a new building.
