How you shutdown your Windows 7? Most people will shutdown Windows 7 from Shutdown button that can find after click Start button from Windows 7 taskbar. I do the same thing too but sometimes I do it from command prompt for special purpose.
Windows 7 use shutdown.exe to turn off the computer and if you run it from command prompt you can shutdown your computer as usual or you can use its special purpose such timer that you can set when you want it to shutdown. To know it more just open your Windows 7 command prompt and type: shutdown /? and it will show some command of shutdown.
From that command syntax then you can do some special purpose command. These are examples that I use sometimes:
1. When you want set shutdown timer 1 hour later you can easily type : shutdown /s /t 3600
2. Maybe you want to change the timer during time-out period just type: shutdown /a
3. If you want to shutdown remote computer you can type: shutdown /m \\computername
I think you can explore the other shutdown features from the shutdown command syntax and if you think it useful please share it here. Enjoy it!
