Ok I have a new and better Idea,... there is 2 parts to this....
Open up note pad and type the following
shutdown /s /c "Time to go to bed"
then click file "save as" then change "save as type:" to "all files".
Then type in the following as the name... "test01.bat"
after you created the file, then click...
Start>Settings> Control Panel
switch to classic view, then go to Schedualed tasks...
Right click the background, and select "new" then click "schedualed task"
under "Run:" click "Browse..." then select the test01.bat file
after that, click the schedule tab, and select at what time you want the computer to turn off.
Then apply the changes and you are all set up!
Ok... now that I explained "How" to do it,... I will explain "Why" it works...
when wrote in notepad, you were making a little program called a batch file. Batch files are simply commands that are sent as arguments to the command prompt... so when you open this file it will send the contents to the command prompt and execute its contents.
so... here is what you told the computer to do in that batch file...
shutdown - shut downs the computer...
/s - comfirms you are shuttng down the computer (rather then restarting it)
/c "comment" - will display a comment when the computer is shutting down.
okey dokey, then we created a system task. the system task will execute this program, and will shut down the computer at the time that you set it to...
hope this helps...
edit... the below does not work,... disreguard....
You can set a system scheduald command... here is the easy steps.
go to...
Start>Run> cmd
then the command prompt should come up...
then type the following...
at 20:30 shutdown
(in place of 20:30 type the time you wish the computer to shutdown, make sure it is in military time/24hour format)
then at that time, the computer will shut down...
hope this helps
**brb ill check to make sure this works... brb**

You can configure power management to automatically shut down the pc if inactive for a certain amount of time. But there is no set time where the computer will auto turn off at say exactly 11 o'clock every night.
