    This Trick allows a user to shutdown a pc after a desired length of time, just like a timer in your television!

    Step 1 -> Right click on your desktop ( or any folder where u want to put this file which will “set” the timer) and choose ” New” and then shortcut!

    Step 2-> A box will popup it will say “Type the location of the shortcut” type in there “shutdown -s -t 3600″ without the quotes and type next.

    Note: The 3600 is the desired time shitdown after execution the shortcut.The time unit is seconds so the time needs to be in seconds, In the above given time the time is 1 hour or 60 sec X 60 min = 3600 secs.

    Step 3 -> Make up a name for the shortcut and you’re done.
    You can change the icon by right clicking->properities->change icon-> browse

    If u want to stop the timer in between do this -> “location of the shortcut”
    to “shutdown -a” without the quotes.

    Imagine what will happen to someone if this shortcut is added to his startup.
