"Works well but then can't adjust settings."
Version: Switch Off 3.4.1
Pros
As a daily shut off tool, it works.
Cons
Problem is that once timer is set once, it can never be accessed again. The only way that I can figure out how to change the settings on the timer are to uninstall and then download a new version. This is a hassle every time you want to make a simple adjustment to the program.
Summary
Wish there was an easier way to do something as SIMPLE as access the programs parameters without having to uninstall entire program and download a new version.

"Works exactly as I wanted it to."
Version: Switch Off 3.4.1

Windows XP-SP3: Does what I wanted it to do. Scheduled it to shutdown every night at midnight. When I start up the next afternoon, it loads perfectly as a service and remembers my settings. Zero problems with install and super easy GUI.
Cons
None for me.
Summary
100% kick butt ... error free and $ free. What's not to like?
