[req] Countdown shutdown

Hello there,

Is it possible to "create" a desklet, that shuts down the PC in a time the user defines?

I often listen to books and music before sleeping, and so the PC would shut down automatically.

I think thats a good idea - what do you mean?

I wish you a happy new year ,)

Check this out: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/smartshutdown.html It's not a desklet, but it may be what you could use. ;)

Hi,

yes, thats something I can use :)

Thank you.

But for Avedesk it is also a good idea, i think - you don't need an extra program installed then .

I am a minimalistic :)

Maybe you want to give this a try. It's a registry key that puts a icon on the desktop all you have to do is add it to the registry and then refresh your desktop. Then right click on it and choose the duration you want your computer to stay on for. A dialog box pops up and shows you how much time you have. You can also abort shutdown on the right click.

Let me know if this is something you can use and if you need longer times added.

You also might find this link helpful Herby at Neowin shows how to make these type of icons.

Hi,

@Dave L: what you wrote sounds really good - so I downloaded an doubleclicked - but nothing happened - no icon appeared on my desktop. i refreshed the desktop - I even restarted my comp.
