Can anyone recommend a FREE shutdown timer for a pc? It MUST have a force shutdown option.
I did have one but my virus protection suddenly decided to delete it. I'm now using one for Vista, but the force shutdown option doesn't seem to be working. I use remote desktop from my laptop to view my pc and this means I have to use the forced shutdown option.
ShutdownPro.
Hmmm. I'm trying this and it's not working. I've installed, but when I run the program all it does is put an icon on my taskbar. And if I go to click it, it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
*tries downloading different version*
Maybe you need to upgrade to XP?
Unless you're already on XP, and just using a Vista app randomly...
I am on XP. I've got a later version now, and it seems to be working. Just need to figure out how to use it now.
Thanks Finck.
Edit; You can set a shutdown time can't you?

On ShutdownPro? Yes. In several different ways.
IIRC, try right-clicking the icon.
Ok. *tries to remember how to right click over Remote Desktop when I've only got one pad on my Mac*
*talks to self* Is it SHIFT and click?
ctrl?
One of them. At the moment I keep closing my pc down whilst trying to open the preferences. >_< Very annoying.
Aaaah, is SHIFT & CTRL. Sorted. Thanks.
PC Shutdown-Timer - sounds like a bumbling cop in an Agatha Christie murder mystery.
Cool, I think I've got the hang of it now. Again, thankyou.
Do you not have physical access to your PC?
Yes. Kind of.. It's in a cupboard, out the way (I may have posted it in that workstation thread). But I normally leave it running overnight, and needed an auto shutdown program so it's off before I get up. Using remote desktop tends to stop most shutdown programs working, hence the force shutdown option. 
What remote desktop facility are you using?
Err it's just called Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) from MicroSoft (I think)
Ah, here it is.
