This easy-to-understand timer lets you perform one of three basic actions at the time you determine, offering no extras in the process. Alarm Timer/Launcher has a simple, miniature interface that allows you to set the exact time (up to the second) you'd like to play a WAV file, run an executable, or shut down your computer. Although this tiny executable doesn't include many of the features of similar applications, including the ability to set multiple countdowns and create customizable messages, Alarm Timer/Launcher is so simple to use you won't miss the missing help file. Despite the program's light feature set, users who are looking for a no-frills, free timer can benefit from this application.

It's handy if you are hooked to a game while you actualy have to go to bed at a certain time. Just have the program play a .wav file. <p>2 out of 3 functions work.
Cons
It doesn't shut down windows. At least not on my XP Pro SP1. And that's why I actually downloaded this program for.

I installed this program hoping that it would provide me a quick mode to shut down my computer at certain time, but I checked before if it worked... I tried 5 times to shutdown my computer or run a program, and when the current time reaches the alarm time (I doubled checked that I set the alarm ON) IT DOES NOTHING, no shutdown, no alarm, maybe it would work if I had something different to XP. You should test throughly your programs before uploading them here, even if it's just a simple alarm.
Does the job

Version 2.0 has added support for additional regional settings.
