Let's say you want to shut down your PC at a certain time. For example you're downloading something from the internet and it has not finished, but you want to leave the House and the download might take another Hour.

No Problem, simply do the following:
1.) Click on start - Run and enter notepad
2.) On Windows XP Home Edition enter: shutdown -s
On Windows XP Pro Edition enter: WMIC OS Where Primary=TRUE Call Shutdown
3.) Save the File as shutdown.bat (on c:/ in this example) Make sure it is not saved as shutdown.bat.txt
If you doubleclick on that batch file your PC will Shutdown, but we're not done yet.
4.) Open the control panel (start - control panel)
5.) Doubleclick on "Scheduled Tasks"
6.) Doubleclick on "Add Scheduled Task"
7.) In the wizard click on next and then on Browse
8.) Go to c:/ and you will find the shutdown.bat file. Choose this File.
9.) Choose Perform this Task: one time Only
10.) Now you just enter the Time and Date and click next
