Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

This tool allows you to easily execute shutdown functions, although its primary features can be quickly accessed elsewhere on your PC. The toolbar features easy-to-comprehend, colorful icons. AutoShutdown lets you shut down, restart, log off, stand by, hibernate, and lock your workstation in an instant. You can schedule the commands and assign hot keys, features not available through the Start menu. Additionally, the application can warn you when scheduled commands are about to be executed. File Cleanup, which enables you to simultaneously delete unwanted files and histories and perform any AutoShutdown function, is an extraneous feature. Unfortunately, this software terminates all running programs without letting the user know all live files will not be saved. Users who want to schedule shutdown functions will save time by using this program.

Pros
You open it, set the time when you want it to turn of the computer and apply. You can also set it to turn off after XX minutes.
Cons
after you set it you can't turn off or restart the computer normally before the scheduled time, so you must disable it first and then turn off or whatever.
Summary
if you need to go out and leave your computer doing stuff and want it to turn off after finishing this is the program for you ^^<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 11, 2009<p/>sorry this is not the autoshutdown i was talking about, cnet please delete my review xD

Pros
N/A
Cons
It does not work at all, when set to shut down at a preset time, it keeps trying to shut down; but in the end, it won't shut down by itself. I even used force shut down option, it still won't work.
Summary
This program didn't shut my computer down period.

Developer’s Description

By Barefoot Productions

Set your system to shut down and log off automatically.

AutoShutdown is a Windows-system shutdown manager. The software provides unattended control for a Windows PC; you can shut down, restart, log off, stand by, or hibernate based on the date or time, idle computer time, hot keys, or a manually triggered command. AutoShutdown also can monitor the battery level in a notebook computer and act while there's still power available. Systems running Windows 2000 and XP can lock the workstation. Version 4.5 adds a new scheduling system and a service module.
