How do I put a timer on my laptop ? like an automatic shutdown ?

Question

I'm listening to a radio online but I want to sleep from it & have my laptop shutdown automatically?

If I do that & listening radio online is that ok ? Coz technically I'm not exiting on a website ?

Answer 1

OK go to start, then go to the run box and type

tsshutdn - 100

the 100 can be changed to what ever you like 100 also stands for seconds... once you have typed that in hit enter and your away

Answer 2

Here is another timer you can set as well.

Open the start menu click on run.
type 'cmd' press ok
at the prompt type 'shutdown -i'
when the window opens click 'add' and type your computer name (dont know it? - right click 'my computer' choose properties - click on the 'computer name' tab)
after you have added your pc name to the list - enter 3600 seconds for a one hour timer...click ok
7200 for 2 hrs, etc...

a window will pop up that you can drag down and place the top bar of the shutdown timer over the toolbar on the bottom of the desktop. it hides most of it, letting you finish your work.

Answer 3

Answer 4
