TIP:How to automatically shutdown your Windows computer:Scheduled Shutdown

Most probably problem with :

Code:

---

E:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 50

---

If some error in line then screen will flash and nothing will happen.

Try running code on command line as Admin:

Code:

---

shutdown.exe -s -t 50

---

If works then command is fine and use it in your Schedule task.

except shutdown.exe,, can i execute other exe file here

I guess yes you can use any file here.

Thanks it is really very helpful, specially as we have fixed interval of load shading, so now I can schedule to auto-shutdown PC before power goes out.

After I do every step above, I am further asked for a username and password. I give. Then a warning appears that the requested can't be perfomed because I dont have permission. That's the end. I am lost. Help!
