AutoShutdown

AutoShutdown is an application that allows you to schedule a power management function on your computer, including shutdown. It can be easily handled, even by less experienced individuals.
The interface of the tool is based on a standard window where you can select the method between log off, restart and shutdown. Once you you have established the time of the task, you can enable it.
In the "Options" area you can set AutoShutdown to automatically run at Windows startup and to enable a timer, as well as to start minimized to the system tray.
Additionally, the program can be set to erase recent documents and the Windows temporary folder, as well as to empty the Recycle Bin. In the "Main" area, you can enable or disable the current task.
The simple-to-use piece of software requires a very low amount of system CPU and memory. We have not come across any difficulties throughout our testing; AutoShutdown did not freeze, crash or display error dialogs. There is no help file available but that's because the tool is easy to learn.
On the downside, you cannot schedule a power management option on another date. Plus, AutoShutdown does not offer additional methods, such as hibernate, stand by or launch a particular application. However, the tool offers the minimum requirements for automatic shutdowns and is stable. AutoShutdown has never received updates.
